Tempers flare after Maccabi Tel Aviv clinches 58th championship
Maccabi Tel Aviv celebrated its 58th Israeli championship on Tuesday night after a dramatic fourth game, finishing the finals 3-1 over Hapoel Tel Aviv. The title-clinching game ended with emotions running high on the court at the arena.
After the final buzzer, an argument broke out between Maccabi guard Lonnie Walker and Hapoel forward Tomer Ginat. According to the report, Walker pointed to the championship cap, and Ginat reacted angrily to the gesture.
Players from both teams quickly stepped in to separate the two, and no physical contact developed between them. The incident capped an otherwise tense night as Maccabi completed its title run in the Israeli Basketball Premier League.
