Urbani Nahariya and Hapoel Tel Aviv met in the same and bad situation, with a 5: 1 balance, but the host in Ein Sara seemed to be coming in a better situation, with the debut of Michael Young and after her debut victory in the league.
Hapoel Tel Aviv, with four consecutive losses and without its best player of the season, Bar Timor, who due to injury to the spine was disabled, came with his head down.
The opening looked appropriate, when Nahariya ran to 0:10, but then the Reds woke up and turned the game on their side and came home with a big win, 71:94.
Already in the second quarter, the visitors' advantage was double-digit (30:41), and when Nahariya tried to come back, Hapoel Tel Aviv pressed the gas again and ran away to 53:69.
What caused the big change?
First of all signs of the excellent defense we saw from the Reds last season.
The team that has so far averaged 88 points per game this season stopped Nahariya at 71 and caused its opponent 20 turnovers.
In addition, Reggie Apshou woke up with seven threes and Gabe York came into the league with a quality half-second.
Yam Madar won and contributed 18 points.
