1. Hapoel Jerusalem has many ways to win this year, even when it is not at its best. Tonight (Saturday night) 82:88 outside on Nahariya's city she achieved good defense in the last quarter and of course thanks to Jacob Brown and James Paladin, who suffered a particularly weak shot, but as usual they managed to reach Mani Time and decide with baskets Big.

The red team showed again why it is the best in the fourth quarter, this time with 17:24. Ascension in the important minutes shows a strong character of players and a high level of training that brings players practiced and safe to the last minutes where the pressure increases.

Beyond the win, Oded Ketch can take from this game the first minutes of acquisition player John Holland who scored well, Tamir Blatt's return from an ankle injury and most importantly Tyson Thomas' impressive ability. Tuesday against Rasta Vachta, everyone will have to perform at their peak to return from Germany with a win.

2. As in the match against Hapoel Holon in the Cup, Urban Nahariya once again surpassed a large team and showed its potential, but it is not enough to produce stability and continuity in the league games.

Danny Franco must be worried that his team is not winning any victories and after three losses in the last four cycles, it drops to a negative balance of nine losses and five wins after 14 games. This is not what he did at the beginning of the season.

Nahariya needs the encouragement of the good ability of the Israeli duo Igor Kolshov and Iti Segev. The first scored high and reached double digits for the third time in the last five games, the second recorded a double-double this season. Dominic Waters was excellent on both sides of the field, but his behavior did not respect either opponent or spectators. Franco, who has already expressed his displeasure in public, will probably think of how to treat his star.
