Maccabi Tel Aviv is the Israeli League champions. In an easy final, Maccabi got past Hapoel Holon 95 – 75 and won the championship.

Since the start, Tel Aviv’s squad managed to have a double-digit lead. After ten minutes, they were leading by double-digits (28-17). Before half-time, Neven Spahija’s team with Michael Roll leading the way increased this lead to 15+ points (47-31). Maccabi’s defense was on point, not letting Hapoel get easy shots (2/10 3FG in the first half).

In the second half, Hapoel could not stop Maccabi and so the eventual winners went up by 20+ points (68-47). From that point, Hapoel could not respond and so the game was over.

Five players from the winners finished in double-figures, as Jake Cohen scored 18 points. Alex Tyus also had a great game, being a beast down low and grabbing 15 rebounds. He added 10 points.

For the losing side, Tu Holloway put up 20 points.
