Waiting for news from Himki.

Maccabi Tel Aviv returned to the winning track last night (Sunday) when they defeated Hapoel Tel Aviv 69:85 in an impressive way.

Thanks to the victory, the Yellows returned to first place in the table, at least until the game of Hapoel Jerusalem tonight.



Scotty Wilbkin excelled with 23 points, 11 of them in the first quarter, and the Yellows' superiority was not questioned for a moment.



"We taught ourselves to be focused on the game and not on things that could cause us to be unfocused and out of control," said Wilbkin, who is remembered as being sent off in the same field against the same playoff rival last season, "When we open up a big advantage, it's hard not to enjoy. Everything connected to us. "

Asked if he is getting sharper in big games and whether the loss to Gilboa / Galil gave him special motivation, Wilbkin said: "I did not know it was a big game. It's a derby, but that's all. The game on Friday motivated me, we did not want to lose two games in a row. "The early rival (Gilboa) was very much waiting for us, and after she won she celebrated as if she had won the championship. She was more prepared than us, and that was the problem."

  • After the derby victory, Wilbkin stings Hapoel Tel Aviv: "This is not a big game"

  • Gilboa / Galil also received a message from the Yellows star: "They celebrated as if they had won the championship"

  • Although Khimki will be able to enter Israel, logistical difficulties put the game on Thursday in doubt

The Yellows are waiting for the final announcement on whether the game against Moscow Khimki on Thursday will be possible.

The government last night approved the entry of foreign private flights for sporting events, which should allow the Russian team to arrive on its own flight for the game, but there are other logistical issues like the refereeing that need to be resolved before a final decision is made.



Last night, Maccabi Tel Aviv still did not know whether the game would take place or not.

If the game does not take place, the team will hold two league games this week - a game against Maccabi Haifa on Wednesday and a game against Hapoel Beer Sheva on Friday.

"I'm glad we have a day off tomorrow, and later we'll get ready for whoever we need to get ready for," Wilbkin said.

"This is a crazy season, a crazy year, you never know what will happen, you just have to stay focused and ready, after a day."
