A sopposed to the previous season, 96/97, in which Maccabi swept through the regular season like a hurricane, this season seemed to hurl difficulties at Maccabi Tel-Aviv. Maccabi lost no less than four games in the regular season, a number unprecedented since 1992/93.But the secret to keeping the top position in the chart, and with it, the home court advantage in the playoff, lies in winning more games than any of the competitors. None of the teams which competed with Maccabi for the top
position, such as Eilat, Raanana,and even Herzliya at first, seized the opportunity to dominate the chart. So, when the smoke cleared, again Maccabi stood in the best position it could for the battle over the championship plate.
