Note: On the original date of the game (June 9), in the fourth quarter there was a regional power outage for almost an hour in Gan Ner Sports Hall. At the end of the power outage, it was decided to resume the game, but Hapoel Holon decided not to continue playing. Following the decision, the disciplinary committee of the basketball association ruled a technical loss to Hapoel Holon and imposed a fine of 10,000 NIS. On June 11, the association's Supreme Court decided to reverse the verdict and hold a rematch following an appeal by Hapoel Holon. The Court also increased the fine imposed to 50,000 NIS.^[9]^[8]
