The countdown continues as Maccabi Playtika Tel Aviv inches closer to regaining the Winner's League championship title. In a dominant performance, the Yellows defeated Hapoel Holon 90-76 at home, securing a 1-0 lead in the semifinals series. Another victory over Guy Goodes's team this Friday will guarantee Maccabi a spot in the finals against the winner of the Hapoel Tel Aviv/Hapoel Jerusalem series.
Maccabi's win was well-deserved, with the team showcasing its strength throughout the game. Wade Baldwin, who returned to action after missing the quarterfinals due to injury, led the hosts with an impressive 20 points. Lorenzo Brown contributed with 15 points and 11 assists, while Bonzie Colson made a significant impact with 17 points and 12 rebounds.
Despite winning all five games played against Holon this season, Maccabi anticipates a challenging Game 2, as the defending champions aim to avoid a series sweep and prolong their season.
