The first leg last week in Ramla ended with a 61-61 tie.

Team captain Shay Doron - the first Israeli woman in WNBA, Laine Selwyn, Tanasha Wright and the other players in black and yellow celebrated a historic achievement in the history of the club, which until this season has reached two European semi-finals (in 1998 and 2008), but never made it to the end - until now.
