Late Timeout Gamble Leaves Hapoel Tel Aviv Empty-Handed
Hapoel Tel Aviv may have made a season-defining decision in the final seconds of its game against Maccabi. Trailing 100-97 with 12 seconds left, the team had a timeout and coach Dimitris Itoudis chose to let Stefanos Dedas draw up the play.
The possession ended with Yam Madar taking a difficult shot from well beyond the three-point line under heavy pressure. Madar had been shooting 4 of 8 from three-point range up to that point, but this attempt missed.
