The crisis of Maccabi Tel Aviv almost intensified tonight (Sunday) when the newcomer, Hapoel Galil Elyon, was very close to defeating the champion in Kfar Blum, but in the end the team of Yannis Sapropoulos survived the thriller and won 84:88 in overtime, which gave the Greek and his players a little space breathing.
At the same time, Barak Peleg's team revealed how much Maccabi was injured during this period.
Forward champion Derrick Williams, who was injured during the game and did not return to the floor, is not suffering from a significant injury and should be fit for Maccabi Tel Aviv's critical game against Zenit St. Petersburg away this coming Thursday.
On the other hand, the Upper Galilee was furious after the loss following the referees' decisions at the end of the game, in at least three cases, including Nimrod Levy's fifth offense and the fact that Maccabi Tel Aviv was sent to the line time and time again at the end.
The group hopes the judges' union will provide explanations for those whistles.
