Maccabi Tel Aviv last night (Sunday) lost first place in the basketball Premier League after losing the Tel Aviv derby 96:95 to Hapoel Tel Aviv at Hichal Shlomo.
The Yellows dropped to second place with 11 wins and three losses, one more loss than their opponent.
Maccabi showed up for the game without the injured Lorenzo Brown, and succeeded with the great ability of Wade Baldwin, John DiBartholomew and Jaylen Adams to open a gap of 13 in the second half, but then stopped, saw the Reds close the gap and manage to turn the game around in the decisive moments.
Maccabi had the chance to win the game in the last move, but Baldwin gave a bad ball to Bonzie Colson who lost it.
The Yellows complained to the refereeing team about a decision 9 seconds to the end not to give 3 free throws to Baldwin, but only two, and in Maccabi they will demand answers from the referees' union about the decision: "It is possible not to whistle it the first time, but you have to go to the monitor to look at it," said the club , "It can't be that because of what seems like fear on the part of the judges, they choose to forgo an inspection."
Angry at the judgment.

The members of the team left Hall Shlomo at the end of the game with a sense of failure, "They made stops and went to transition, that was the game today. I don't think we took our foot off the gas, we talked about stopping them for fewer points in the second half, and we were one move away from victory," concluded C Van DiBartholomew, who scored 18 points, "I don't think we can't handle the pressure at the end. There are moves at the end of the game, obviously we could have done more in the last move, but that's basketball."
When asked if Hapoel Tel Aviv is their opponent this season for the championship, Maccabi's captain said: "I think there are many strong teams this season, this is one of the strongest Hapoel teams I've seen, the derby is always intense, it's always a difficult arena to play in. We lacked a point at the end ".

Maccabi Tel Aviv will return to regular training tomorrow ahead of the away game against Olympiakos this Friday.
The game in Greece will start a streak of three away games in the Euroleague for the yellows, all of them apparently without Lorenzo Brown, and Maccabi will have to win at least one if they don't want to stay away from the playoff zone, "Obviously this is one of our difficult away games, it's no secret that we have a hard time away in the Euroleague, This is an important test, the upcoming run we have, we need to learn to close games in such halls."
