Regular Season Round 21: Maccabi Haifa - Hapoel T-A 80-86
Date: March 2, 2014
The game between third ranked Maccabi Haifa (14-7) and fourth ranked Hapoel Tel-Aviv (13-8) was the most important one in the last round on Sunday night. Maccabi Haifa was defeated by Hapoel Tel-Aviv in a tough game in Haifa 80-86. It ended at the same time the six-game winning streak of Maccabi Haifa. The guests trailed by 1 point after first quarter, but they rallied back to get the 3-point lead at the halftime and eventually won the game 86-80. Hapoel Tel-Aviv shot 27 for 42 from the free-throw line, while Maccabi Haifa only scored eleven points from the stripe. 30 personal fouls committed by Maccabi Haifa helped opponents get some easy free throw opportunities. American power forward Josh Owens (203-88, college: Stanford) stepped up with a double-double by scoring 19 points and 12 rebounds (on 7-of-8 shooting from the field) for the winners and the former international Raviv Limonad (191-84) chipped in 19 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists. The best for the losing side was American forward Brian Randle (203-85) with 14 points and 6 rebounds and international center Alexey Chubrevich (212-86) scored 12 points and 9 rebounds (perfect from the field making all six shots). Both teams had five players each who scored in double figures. Maccabi Haifa's coach Danny Franco rotated ten players in this game, but that didn't help. Hapoel Tel-Aviv maintains fourth place with 13-8 record. Defending champion Maccabi Haifa keeps the third position with seven games lost. Hapoel Tel-Aviv are looking forward to face bottom-ranked Maccabi Ashdod (#12) at home in the next round and are hoping to win another game. Maccabi Haifa will play against the league's second-placed Hapoel Jerusalem (#2) and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
