Maccabi Tel Aviv captured its 58th Israeli championship, and this one was presented as one of the most convincing in the club’s history. In a season full of injuries, uncertainty, travel, and poor publicity for Israeli basketball, Maccabi outlasted its wealthy, ambitious cross-city rival Hapoel Tel Aviv and lifted the trophy after a series that went to four games. The team did it with a short, battered, tightly bonded roster that included major minutes for Will Rayman and Zach Hankins, a revived Elijah Pons? No, note correction: the article names Iffe Lundberg, Clark from Herzliya, captain of age 35, and even its most expensive player not dressing at all.
