Last night (Thursday), Maccabi Tel Aviv finished 2020 on the right foot with a convincing 80: 101 home victory over Hapoel Jerusalem, and rose to the top of the Premier League table with the highest success rate in the league.
The Yellows have recovered excellently from the disappointing home loss in the Euroleague to Zenit St. Petersburg, and will already today begin preparations for Sunday's game against Hapoel Tel Aviv in the quarterfinals of the State Cup.
The Yellows consistently increased their advantage throughout the game, winning all quarters and except for a few minutes in the fourth quarter in which there was a feeling that Jerusalem might return, the victory was not for a moment in doubt.
Maccabi got an impressive evening from Scotty Wilbkin who scored 29 points in 32 minutes including 8 threes from 13 attempts, with Anta Žižić adding 21 points and 10 rebounds and Elijah Bryant scoring 17 of his own.

At the end of the game the foreign players of the team hurried to celebrate the entry of the civil year in their homes, and Oz Blazer who scored 4 points remained to sum up the convincing ability of the team, which looks very sharp in the big games this season, compared to other games.
"We feel it happens sometimes and do not want it to happen, but there are peaks during the season. When you play back to back to back, when there is a crazy pace of play, there is a decrease in energy. But it should not be like that," said the Israeli forward. "In front of every team in super aggression. We will work on it, we put emphasis on it, especially on the level of energy. Against Zenit we lacked energies."
Blazer himself had a less-than-good shooting day, missing a lot.
"There are times when the ball doesn't come in, it's part of things that happen during a season. I keep working hard in every training session and every game, but I want to help with other things as well. I believe the balls will come in at the end, the guys support me and see how hard I work. My only three-pointer in the game, I almost celebrated with an airplane movement, but I was afraid of getting a technical foul. "

Last night's game was the first of the Yellows without Othello Hunter who will be out of action for the next two weeks at least due to the injury he suffered in his face in Tuesday's game against Zenit.
Maccabi were satisfied with the cooperation and the distribution of the load in position number 5 between Ante Žižić and Dragan Bender, and believe that in the local framework they will not encounter any problems.
At the same time, it is clear to the team that "the Euroleague is a completely different film. It is the responsibility of the professional team to know how to find solutions and perhaps improvise something alternative, even though it is not simple at all," the club said yesterday. And hope that he will attract her throughout this period. "
But even before the opening of the second round of the Euroleague against Alba Berlin, a game against Hapoel Tel Aviv in the Cup awaits the Yellows, which comes with special vigilance.
"We concentrate on ourselves in every game, come with an attitude that it's up to us, no matter who is in front of us. Because it's one game and advancing to the Cup semi-finals, you have to come super ready. It's not an easy game, you have to come focused like today Oz laser.
