Maccabi Playtika Tel Aviv is closing in on the first important title of the season. Motivated by Brown's comeback from injury, the Yellows defeated Ironi Ness Ziona 85-73 earlier today and will return to Pais Arena in Jerusalem on Thursday to play for the cup.
Maccabi overcame a slow start to the game and a double-digit deficit, thanks to Brown's scoring and leadership, and didn't look back after grabbing the lead at the beginning of the second quarter. Ness Ziona made a late comeback attempt, but it was firmly held off by the Yellows and Josh Nebo, who had a solid performance with 16 points and 11 rebounds.
The identity of Maccabi's opponent in the final will be revealed later today after Hapoel Jerusalem, and Hapoel Haifa conclude their semi-final match.
