Spanish Basketball Summary: The Ten Most Beautiful Moves in the 31st Round (Sport 1)

Last night (Saturday), Maccabi Tel Aviv came close to first place in the table at the end of the top house of the Premier League, after beating Hapoel Galil Elyon 68:71 away at the end of a dramatic game.

Thanks to the victory, the Yellows secured at least the second place in the table, and will be able to secure the first place tonight if Hapoel Jerusalem loses in Herzliya.

If the Reds win, Maccabi will have to beat Hapoel Haifa at home tomorrow (21:00).



The Yellows, who last night completed a fourth victory in four games over the Upper Galilee, led by a promising margin in the first half, but Galil managed to come back in the second half and equalize several times.

Maccabi was unable to create a gap again, mainly due to bad decisions in the attack, and in the closing seconds the team enjoyed a slight lay-up miss by Kerem Mashur who helped to escape with a victory.



"I'm not really happy. We played a bad game, not good enough. We won, but I'm not happy," concluded Maccabi Tel Aviv coach Avi Even.

"We have not played aggressively enough and right enough, there are a lot of things to work on. We do not have much time, there are mostly things that need to be refined, in how we think. We will do it better later."

Even referred to the winning move - the offensive miss of Kerem Mashur.

"If he had scored I would have taken a time-out, but he missed to my delight. You have to know how to win games like this that are not good enough and concentrated. There was a hard game on a hard pitch, against a team that played well today."



Jake Cohen, who scored 11 points and added 5 rebounds in 17 minutes, added: "It was not our best performance, but it is important that we win games like this. We will have to learn from our mistakes, we lost too many balls, including my losses. We have a lot on What to look for and work on, but it's good to do it after victories. "



The team will have to make a decision in the coming days regarding the squad that will be registered for the first series in the playoffs.

It is estimated that at least four foreigners are considered anchors in Avi Even's squad - Scotty Wilbkin, Keenan Evans, James Nanley and Ante Zizic.

Fifth is expected to be Derek Williams, who did not dress last night.

The team is worried about Ante Žižić's poor ability in recent games.

The chin was better against Hapoel Jerusalem, but defensively he was not in the game, and last night he signed a number of mistakes, did not score in 13 minutes and looked very off.

"We will need Ante much better in any series we do not play. What he showed in this game is not similar to what is needed from him," the club concluded.
