Maccabi Tel Aviv Dominates Rival Hapoel Tel Aviv in Social Super Cup Derby
Maccabi Tel Aviv secured the first title of the season, the Social Super Cup, after a decisive 101-83 victory over Hapoel Tel Aviv in their opening league game on Thursday. Hapoel Tel Aviv struggled to keep pace with their city rivals throughout the match, marking a painful start to their season.
The game was marked by visible frustration from Hapoel players. In one notable incident, Zach LeDay slammed into the seats on the bench after the game concluded. Earlier, Vasilije Micić received a technical foul and was subsequently ejected from the game.
Micić's ejection occurred late in the first half when he collided with T.J. Leaf and argued that a foul should have been called. He yelled at referee Omer Estman, who issued a technical foul. As this was Micić's second technical foul of the game, he was required to leave the court. Following this, Micić committed an unsportsmanlike foul, leading to his final ejection and departure to the locker room.
