The great momentum of Maccabi Tel Aviv was interrupted last night (Monday) in Holon when the Yellows lost 88:82 to Hapoel Holon in the fifth round of the Premier League. It was Maccabi Tel Aviv's second league loss, which for the first time since the 2015/16 season lost two league games in the five opening rounds of the season.

The Yellows' two bright spots in the game were Derrick Williams who scored 18 points and Jaylen Reynolds who added 15 of his own. On the other hand, the Israelis of the team, who barely play in the Euroleague, were not good enough, with Ziv opening scoring 7 points in 25 minutes, Roman Sorkin adding 8 points in 16 minutes, Oz Blazer getting 9 minutes and not scoring and Jake Cohen not getting on the field.

Common to the Yellows' first two league losses this season was the fact that Scotty Wilbkin did not play, this time due to a slight ankle injury, but Maccabi refused to attribute the loss to the star guard but to the defensive ability.

"We stop Euroleague rivals on below 70 points, and Holon reached in front of us almost 90," said the club, "The offense was good, but we made too many mistakes in defense."

The forward also referred to the atmosphere in Holon: "They have a home advantage here, obviously when you have an audience of this type. That's why we like to play at home, it makes it difficult to play in such an atmosphere."

"We were not good enough. It's hard to play in an atmosphere like that."
