Maccabi Playtika Tel Aviv is on a roll. The Yellows won today their fourth straight, 91:84 over Ironi Ness Ziona in Winner’s league, and can feel confident ahead of the crucial challenge that awaits them on Thursday – a battle with a direct competitor for a Euroleague playoff ticket in Baskonia Vitoria.
Maccabi had to work hard for this away win today. Without Wade Baldwin, Jarell Martin, and Jalen Adams, Oded Kattash’s players trailed 63:66 at the end of the third, but Jake Cohen (23 points) and Lorenzo Brown (10 and 10 assists) kept Maccabi close. John Dibartolomeo’s critical defensive play secured the win for the visitors, who lead the table ahead of their city rivals, Hapoel Tel Aviv.
