Yam Madar Stuns with Full-Court Buzzer-Beater in Maccabi Tel Aviv Debut
Yam Madar, the rising star for Maccabi Tel Aviv, capped off the first half of the Israeli Super Cup game against Hapoel Tel Aviv with a spectacular full-court shot at the buzzer. The incredible basket extended Maccabi's lead to 12 points heading into halftime of the dominant 83-101 victory.
Madar, making his official debut for Maccabi, had a strong first half, contributing 11 points, 5 assists, and 3 rebounds. The highlight, however, was his improbable shot from his own team's baseline after Hapoel Tel Aviv lost possession. The ball sailed the length of the court and swished through the net as time expired, electrifying the crowd.
Speaking after the game, Madar expressed his satisfaction with his debut performance and the team's effort. "We did a good job in the first half and need to continue this," he stated. "I am very happy to be at Maccabi, my first game, and I'm happy to start the first half properly. Hopefully, we'll do even better in the second half."
The Super Cup game marked a significant start to the season for Maccabi Tel Aviv, with Madar's performance, particularly the buzzer-beater, drawing considerable attention.
