Vasilije Micic delivered a standout performance for Hapoel Tel Aviv on Sunday night, helping the team beat Maccabi Tel Aviv in the Israeli Basketball Premier League playoff final. The Serbian guard stepped up when Hapoel was down 2-0 and one loss away from ending its season.
After two poor games to open the series, Micic produced a major improvement and drew widespread praise on social media. Fans said he had "returned to the old Micic" and that he was in "beast mode."
The performance was notable because it came at the most critical moment of the final, with Hapoel facing elimination. The article says the veteran star, who had struggled early in the series, was the key figure in turning the game in Hapoel's favor against its city rival.
