Maccabi Playtika Tel Aviv lost to Hapoel Jerusalem 61:67 tonight (Thursday) in the Israeli state cup final and will hope to recover later in the season and win the championship. The Yellows struggled to find rhythm at “Pais Arena”, and fell behind early in the game.

From then on, Oded Kattash’s team chased the Reds and, despite a comeback attempt that almost bared fruit, ended up with a painful loss. Lorenzo Brown and Bonzie Colson scored 15 each for Maccabi, which will try to recover ahead of the battles that still await in Winner’s league and the Euroleague.
