Without Wilbekin, The Yellows lost 71:74 to the red team from the south. Evans and DiBartolomeo scored 16 points each
Maccabi Playtika Tel Aviv stumbled in the south for the second year in a row. The Yellows suffered a tough loss, 71:74, to Hapoel Beer Sheva in a game in which they already led by 14 points. John DiBartolomeo and Keenan Evans scored 16 points each, but the captain and James Nunnally also missed out on an opportunity to force overtime.
Maccabi wasn’t able to overcome the absence of Scottie Wilbekin, Jalen Reynolds, and Derrick Williams, while Ante Zizic also didn’t play much as well due to foul problems. On Wednesday, the Yellows will try to forget the loss when they host Ness Ziona.
