Avi Even’s men edged the northeners for a fourth time this season, with Scottie Wilbekin paving the way for a 71:68 away win. On Monday, the Yellows host Hapoel Haifa for the regular season finale
It was a tough night for the Yellows, despite leading wire to wire. Maccabi gave away a 13-point lead in the second half, and enjoyed good fortunes when Karam Mashour missed a layup that would have given Galil the lead with 7 seconds to go.
It didn’t matter in the end, as Scottie Wilbekin’s 16 points proved enough to give Maccabi it’s 18 win of the season. On Monday, Avi Even and his men will return home to Yad Eliyahu, when Hapoel Haifa will pay a visit. Another win means first place to finish the season and home court advantage throughout the playoffs.
