Maccabi Tel Aviv secured an 88-71 victory over Hapoel Jerusalem in the Winner Cup semifinals on Sunday, rebounding from their worst-ever EuroLeague season start. After a sluggish first half, the team took control of the game, culminating in an impressive 29-17 fourth quarter. Guard Iffe Lundberg, who had been scoreless through the first three quarters, exploded for 14 points in the final period, including four three-pointers, to lead the charge. His performance drew significant attention on social media, with users posting "You asked where Lundberg is, here he is." Lundberg commented after the team's previous loss to Panathinaikos, "I've been in this game long enough to know that one good game is enough to change momentum," a sentiment he proved true in this match. The win signals a potential shift in momentum for Maccabi Tel Aviv after a difficult two weeks, as they compete for a title.
