Jacoben Brown returned from absence with a double-double and led the Reds to an important home victory against Lior Lubin's team

Jacoben Brown returned from a five-week absence and showed how much he was missing.

The excellent coordinator gave no less than 10 assists and guaranteed his team the seventh place in the table at the end of the regular season in front of the thousands of fans who filled the stands of the Shlomo Kvutzat Hall.

Danny Franco's side (playing 400 as head coach in the Premier League) did not have too much trouble in front of the visitors from Ness Ziona and extended their home win streak to four.

JP Tokoto provided a tremendous first half of 19 points, as did Bar Timor who scored in double digits in the first two quarters.

When Brown is on the field the red attack works like a machine.

Following the loss, Nes Ziona is in real danger of losing its place in the playoffs.

Diane Garrett and new-old acquisition Wayne Selden excelled, but the orange front line did not function against the rival’s highs.

In the next round, Lior Lubin's team will meet Hapoel BS and hope to return to the winning track.
