1. Hapoel Holon is no longer in the top decile, no longer in high society. We didn't need the game against Maccabi Tel Aviv on Sunday.

Holon was considered an integral part of the top tier along with Maccabi Tel Aviv and Hapoel Jerusalem. The season has already opened a big gap between the two of them. The champions (unbeaten) and Jerusalem (one loss to Maccabi Tel Aviv) won all their games in double-digit differentials. Holon is trailing behind.

In 99 regular league games over the past three years - Dan Shamir's years - Holon has had 70 percent success. This season it stands at only 50 percent. Remember, in those years, Holon was a red sheet for Maccabi Tel Aviv with a 4: 5 balance to her credit. 2018. Everything has changed this season. Maccabi Tel Aviv - Holon may be an interesting meeting, but no longer a top game.

2. Less than two minutes to go, Lanzel Smith's balance sheet in Eilat was 1 in 10 for three. The board showed 71:75 to Hapoel Tel Aviv. From here to the finish, Smith scored 3-of-3 for three and tied for the Reds in a third straight victory (71:84). So here's how to do Exit from Eilat (played last season), who gave him a bouquet of flowers before the game?

Smith turns out to be an anchor of Hapoel Tel Aviv. The versatile Guard, who contributes a lot on both sides of the pitch, is the player who spends the most time on his team in his team: 35 minutes. This is the club's success percentage along with the acquisition, and the player, who joined the team on the move, shared four wins in the five games in which he took an active part.

3. Apropos game endings. The winner of the cycle is a novel by Maccabi Haifa. In the last 22 seconds in Beer Sheva he scored an equal basket and then grabbed a ball and also made a victory basket.

It was a signal from the 23-year-old Forward about the great potential inherent in it. Sorkin played at Oregon College and arrived in Haifa during the final part of the 2017/18 season. Last season he played with the Greens in the National League and was an important screw in the promotion back to the Premier League.

This season he is already a regular 23-minute quarterback with good stats (10 points and 5 rebounds) and a significant role. His space of progress is large. Sorkin is the modern Power Forward. High (2.08) and portable that can go outside and score threes. He has excellent athletic and professional data. This is one of the projects of Israeli basketball - a great potential for the Israeli team.
