the progress of the game

Quarter 1: Ketch rose in the quintet with Tamir Blatt, Gal Stick, Rafi Manko, TJ Klein and Itai Segev. Both teams presented a confused game at the opening and had trouble making points. Katsch's exchanges in the quintet helped the team to come off offensive, Gutt's threes, Blatt and Zalmanson raised Israel to 11:19, a stick basket at the end of the quarter set its 12:21 blue-and-white result.

Quarter 2: Another three-pointer by Gutt put Israel up 10, but the 0: 6 run of the Romans led by Jay Slaughter caused Ketch to call timeout when the lead dropped to just 22:26. The blue-and-white rallied and Zelmanson's basket raised again to eight, but the fiery Slaughter left the Poles close with a sixth-pointer from six attempts, a three-pointer and a pass on the buzzer to lower the Poles to a 37:39 lead .

Quarter 3: Gal Stick took control of the game this quarter, three straight assists to give Israel a 43:44 lead. Zalmanson with a basket and offense move equaled 48:48. A big three of pearls with a hand on the face determined the result of the quarter - 53:55 for Israel.

Quarter 4: Good minutes by Nimrod Levy in the opening quarter raised Israel to 56:62, but the Poles returned to the lead 3 minutes to the end of the quarter. Panini and Meckel proved irreplaceable for their experience and their great moves gave Israel a valuable foreign victory - 71:75.
