Maccabi Tel Aviv experienced a significant scoring drought in the third quarter of the Winner Cup final against Hapoel Tel Aviv, failing to score for seven minutes. Despite a strong first quarter that saw Maccabi leading, Hapoel surged ahead, largely due to an explosive performance by Eugene German. By halftime, Maccabi trailed 44:36.
In the third quarter, Maccabi's offense completely stalled, missing eight consecutive shots before Daniel Theis scored a basket and drew a foul with just over three minutes remaining in the period. This drought allowed Hapoel to extend their lead to 62:51 entering the final quarter. Hapoel's strong run of 15:3 during this period secured their advantage.
Although Maccabi managed to narrow the deficit by the end of the game, their prolonged scoring freeze in the third quarter proved too costly to overcome, ultimately contributing to their defeat in the final.
