The math is simple: securing six more wins in the Winner's League playoffs would grant Maccabi Playtika Tel Aviv its 56th state championship. However, the road ahead is still long, with the next challenge being game 2 against Hapoel Beer Sheva on Sunday at 5:30 pm (Israel time).
Based on how game 1 unfolded, Maccabi must maintain focus to secure another victory and establish a commanding 2-0 lead in the series. The Yellows encountered difficulties establishing a decisive lead during the first game against the Reds and only managed to secure the win in the final minutes. They will hope for a better performance tomorrow, despite the absence of injured Wade Baldwin and Josh Nebo.
Maccabi's roster for game 2: John DiBarholomeo, Lorenzo Brown, Jarell Martin, Rafi Menco, Roman Sorkin, Guy Pnini, Darrun Hilliard, Jake Cohen, Tomer Agmon, Alex Poythress, Yiftach Ziv and Bonzie Colson.
