Yannis Sapropoulos' team looked particularly nervous, with no less than five technical fouls being burned for their duty.
The highlight was when Otho Hunter was sent off after slamming harsh things at the referees in the second half.
After the game, a video was released in which Gil Benny was seen catching Hunter in an unsportsmanlike manner during the pre-dismissal, and disappeared from the referees' eyes.
Hunter automatically be fined NIS 12 thousand, and if the attorney Basketball Association Tal Or, decide to bring him to trial judges on the basis of the report, it may also receive additional exclusion penalty.
"There is no doubt that Othello was wrong in his response," said a member of the Maccabi Tel Aviv last night, "He is our senior player and we trust him to lead the team, but if a player at this level, with such a class, reacts in such a way, something particularly unusual has probably happened.
The video of Gilboa's player's perception proves that the referees ignored an ugly move, and not for the first time in the game.
We expect more from Othello, but we also expect serious referees to be sent. "
Oz Blazer, who in turn finished the game with 5 points and 7 rebounds, said at the end:" We lacked energy, we could not stand their intensity.
Hunter is very important to us and was missing after the dismissal, but we had to do the job even without him, and we did not do it.
We will rest, prepare for the derby and take from this game the things we will have to change for Sunday. "
