Maccabi Tel Aviv walloped Hapoel Galil Elyon 108-51 in a clash that was never close as youngster Oren Sahar starred for the yellow-and-blue in the first game that took place after the players strike. Will Rayman scored 24 points and Sahar added 22 points in the win.

“It can’t be taken for granted that we have been able to keep such a good record throughout the season,” Maccabi Head Coach Oded Katash said. “It’s due to the great character of the team and the positive body language as well as good energy that we showed while also plying solid defense. As for Oren, he’s a very good player who hasn’t had many opportunities this season which is not his fault as it’s tough to integrate every player. We’re proud of him.”
