Maccabi Tel Aviv Moves One Win from the Championship After Beating Hapoel in Game 2
Maccabi Tel Aviv defeated Hapoel Tel Aviv 102-98 in the second game of the Basketball Premier League finals, and now needs only one more win to capture its 58th championship. The victory gave Maccabi a 2-0 lead in the series.
Hapoel guard Yam Madar was the game’s top scorer with 34 points, but he missed a crucial three-pointer that could have changed the outcome. The loss left Hapoel trailing in the title series and facing elimination pressure.
The result puts Maccabi on the verge of another league crown, with the series continuing after this game and Hapoel needing to respond immediately to avoid seeing the championship slip away.
