Maccabi Haifa is the new Israeli Basketball State Champion for the 2012-13 season. They beat Maccabi Tel Aviv, which is kind of the Yankees of Israeli basketball, except with a much better record. They won the playoff final 86-79, and took the title for the first time in its history.
This is the third time in the last decade that the Tel Aviv team has lost the final game – having partcipated in all of them, if I’m not mistaken.
