The home crowd showed support for the star center with a huge banner before the start of the game, and he will definitely be missed by Maccabi until his return.<\/p>\n<p>The teams were neck and neck for most of the first half. Maccabi started to look like they might pull away, building a 25-17 lead towards the end of the first quarter. But a late fight-back from Hapoel, including a 3 pointer from Timor with seconds left, saw Maccabi\u2019s lead reduced to 28-25 at the end of the first quarter.<br \/>\n<div id=\"attachment_57481\" style=\"width: 2570px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-57481\" src=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/44B3C8B1-9644-4F71-82CE-EEEE192F1301-scaled.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1801\" class=\"size-full wp-image-57481\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/44B3C8B1-9644-4F71-82CE-EEEE192F1301-scaled.jpeg 2560w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/44B3C8B1-9644-4F71-82CE-EEEE192F1301-300x211.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/44B3C8B1-9644-4F71-82CE-EEEE192F1301-1024x720.jpeg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-57481\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Bar Timor &#8211; Photo Credit: Basket.co.il<\/p><\/div><br \/>\nThe teams continued to exchange buckets throughout the second quarter. A three from Gil Beni with 6:09 left in the quarter saw Hapoel take the lead 37-35 for the first since early in the first quarter, and the lead continued to change until the end of the first half. Just as they did in the first quarter, Hapoel finished the second quarter strongly, with late baskets from Timor and Tokoto giving them a 49-48 lead at the main break.<\/p>\n<p>The third quarter opened with Wilbekin and James Nunnally (11 points, including 3\/5 from three) scoring back-to-back threes for Maccabi. With each of them adding another three-pointer within the first three minutes of the quarter (and Wilbekin scoring 14 points in the third quarter alone), Maccabi looked like they were going to finally pull away, at one point leading by 9 points. However, Hapoel just wouldn\u2019t let Maccabi out of their sight, with Maccabi going into the break with a slim 75-72 lead.<\/p>\n<p>However, Maccabi looked like the much stronger team throughout the whole last quarter. When J\u2019Covan Brown left the game with 6:24 remaining after his fifth foul, sending Derrick Williams (14 points, 5 rebounds) to the line, and Hapoel coach Danny Franco earned a technical foul from the sideline, Maccabi took an 87-79 lead after the free throws which they never looked like relinquishing.<br \/>\n<div id=\"attachment_57440\" style=\"width: 1774px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-57440\" src=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/wilk.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1764\" height=\"1073\" class=\"size-full wp-image-57440\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/wilk.jpg 1764w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/wilk-300x182.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/wilk-1024x623.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/wilk-768x467.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/wilk-1536x934.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/wilk-610x371.jpg 610w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/wilk-1080x657.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1764px) 100vw, 1764px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-57440\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Scottie Wilbekin &#8211; Photo Credit: Basket.co.il<\/p><\/div><br \/>\nAfter the game, Wilbekin \u2013 the night\u2019s MVP \u2013 talked about the hype surrounding the game and the significance of the series after the three losses to Hapoel this season. \u201cThis is the playoffs and not the regular season,\u201d Wilbekin said. \u201cThe only thing we are focusing on is the playoffs and that\u2019s more important that the regular season.
