Hapoel Haifa is furious and claims that Jaylen Adams pushed the chairman Yuval Rossman - Walla! Sport

Summary: Real Madrid - Gran Canaria 85:105 (Sport1)

Hapoel Haifa already had a double-digit lead at Yad Eliyahu Hall, but in the end succumbed to Maccabi Tel Aviv 108:104 at the end of two overtimes and one controversial decision.

According to the guests from Carmel who did not hide their anger at the end, it was the decision of the judging team to award a basket to Roman Sorkin, even though they originally went to watch the event to check how much time was left on the shot clock, that made them go wild.

Chairman Yuval Rossman made the case that he ran to the judges and presented them with evidence that they were wrong. Hapoel Haifa also claimed that during the commotion on the floor, Jaylen Adams pushed Rossman.

"If there is justice, we should have won."

Coach Sharon Drucker said after the dramatic loss: "I've been in the profession for many years, it's the worst thing ever. You come in, play well, dominate most of the game, come to such a drama, and if there is justice - and there is no justice - we should have won. It ended the way it ended. I talked to the referees, and I'm not talking about them either in wins or losses, because the decision was simply not clear to me. They went to see an offside ball and gave S2 - if it had been except for them, we would have made a stoppage and could have won. It was a great game, whoever saw it enjoyed a competitive game We came to a big game despite the injuries, I told my guys that I wish we played as much as possible in every game."

Drucker also said: "My guys came today and we drew the conclusions we needed, offensively of course, to be head to head with Maccabi. We played well, we played correctly, in the end I'm left with Bassa, without the points, and we need to prepare a team for the Eurocup game. We'll do the This, we are a good team, serious guys, we see it in Europe, in the league we hope we continue like this with a fighting spirit, controlling the pace, playing on the players' advantages, knowing where to attack and what to do. It is known that Maccabi is an excellent rebounding team and knows how to make the big shots , we were head to head with them, it's a shame it ended like this. Tomorrow they won't remember it."
