First Quarter, 09:02, Hapoel Tel Aviv 2, Hapoel Jerusalem 2

1 view gallery Kadin Carrington against Yam Madar (Hagi Michaeli) Amid the big storm and with a 2-0 lead in the series, Hapoel Tel Aviv is hosting Hapoel Jerusalem at Menora Mivtachim Arena for the third game between them in the Winner League playoff semifinal. This, of course, comes after the appeal was accepted and the Tel Aviv side was awarded a technical victory following the events of Game 1. Accordingly, the hosts are now one more win away from returning to the playoff final after a one-year break. On the other hand, the Reds from the capital will look to avoid a painful sweep tonight already at the semifinal stage, as last season, as you may recall, the season did not reach its end and was halted in the finals series because of the war with Iran in June. On the other side, Yotam Alon’s team, which earlier received notice that it had been handed a technical loss in the first game, will want to keep its season alive and force a fourth game in the intriguing series. In the previous game, the Jerusalem side led for long stretches, after also getting off to a great start, but the team led by Itoudis knew how to turn the result around at Pais Arena and win the game. First quarter: Hapoel Tel Aviv starting five: Vasilije Micic, Yam Madar, Tomer Ginat, Ish Wainright, Itay Segev. Hapoel Jerusalem starting five: Jared Harper, Kadin Carrington, Tzuf Ben Moshe, Nimrod Levi, Dmytro Skapintsev
