Scottie Wilbekin scored 25 points as Maccabi Tel Aviv beat Hapoel Haifa 85 – 76 at home. The hosts were down 39 – 54 at halftime before making the comeback that led to their win.
Maccabi greatly improved its defense in the second half to first reduce the deficit 60 – 65 at the end of the third period and then retaining this intensity to close the game on a high note.
Elijah Bryant contributed 15 points and Ante Zizic had 14 points plus five boards for Maccabi.
Keenan Evans led all Hapoel scorers with 22 points and Amit Simhon dropped 13 points. Their team had a fantastic first half but was “suffocated” by the opposing defense after the break, managing to score just 22 points in the last two periods.
The Take
Maccabi Playtika Tel Aviv hosts Khimki Moscow Region on Tuesday in a makeup game from Round 24. Maccabi (13-19) takes the floor after losing another makeup game to LDLC ASVEL Villeurbanne less than 48 hours earlier. The Israeli champs have won only three of their last 11 games and are 8-8 at home this season. Khimki (4-28) has not won a game outside of Russia all season.
Last time they met
Maccabi edged Khimki 87-89 after overtime when they met in Round 5 in October. Tyler Dorsey drilled 8 three-pointers on the way to 26 points for the winners and Elijah Bryant hit back-to-back triples in overtime to give the visitors the final edge. Angelo Caloiaro had a double-double of 15 points and 10 rebounds for the winners. Alexey Shved posted 32 points and 11 assists and Devin Booker had 14 points and 12 rebounds in defeat.
