1 Hapoel Tel Aviv received all the conditions to win the derby at its home. Maccabi Tel Aviv arrived depleted after an emotional victory just 48 hours earlier on the CSKA and a week ago of two Euroleague games, including a trip to the frozen St. Petersburg.

Only the players who wore a tracksuit yesterday could make a Euroleague team: Walters, Dibertlomeau, Caspi, Black, Cloyaro and Sandy Cohen. In addition, the worker received unexpected bonuses in the form of Wilbkin's muscle contraction that made him a replacement for Tyler Dorsey and Othello Hunter in fairly short minutes.

But basketball is a game of habits. Hapoel is a poor defense group and in front of Maccabi, who also plays like a machine in the third set, the defense eliminated all the advantages. Defense begins with the individual's defense, and besides, who knew better days too, Maccabi's guards were amazed at the intensity of the passing players.

Ariel Bethlehemi's move to the area made Maccabi think, slow down and turn the game around with big threes by Lions. But as Maccabi got used to it, two Sussman threes came in and closed interest.

On the other hand, Hapoel took 34 (!!) shots on three yesterday, with Maccabi most of the time without an air umbrella with Jake Cohen and Icy. Instead of properly utilizing the efficient Williams (25 points and 12 rebounds) and a color garden, the worker chose the easy solution that turned out to be incorrect.

2 Janis Sparopoulos is justified on the ability of the Maccabi of the season (except for the cup) and his maneuvering in the tight schedule. Minutes to Dori Sahar, a youth team graduate, Yasu Janis.

This derby made a lot of noise before it started due to the police demands. Eventually, it was agreed that Hapoel would fund 65 police officers and police 15. The expensive security funding meant that Hapoel's income from the Derby was about NIS 30,000. Once upon a time, Derby was worth an income earner who kept the club above the water for three months. Today, the behavior of some of the audience in red (which were more subdued yesterday) is causing an increase in the fines and security clause. It is a matter of thought to the group that the fans own.
