HGG vs MTA  Game preview

Hapoel Gilboa Galil had a fantastic regular season as they finished 3rd on the table with a 17-7 record. Gilboa trail the series and will need a big performance from Kerry Blackshear and Jehyve Floyd to overcome the Maccabi team. Kerry had a phenomenal season and averaged 20 PPG helping his team reach the finals. Jehyve Floyd has also looked great for  Gilboa, as he averaged 18.9 PPG and has also been a great help in the defense for them. Floyd played brilliantly in Game 1 and Gilboa will be hoping for a similar performance from him in Game 2 to keep their championship hopes alive.

Maccabi had another splendid season this year and finished at the top of the table holding a 19-5 record. The reigning champions have continued their domination this season as well and they will be hoping to complete a three-peat with the win in Game 2. Scottie Wilbekin has been the star of the team this season and he has continued looking dangerous in the finals. Scottie's 24 point performance helped his team come out victorious in Game 1 and the team will need another special performance from the American to win the Championship
