The champions prevailed 88:97 and advanced to the playoff semifinals thanks to a game-high performance by Joe Ragland (31 points and 11 assists) Dayshon Booker and Nimrod Levy, not enough for the visitors. Next stage opponent: Maccabi Tel Aviv or Hapoel B'Sheva.
The champion continues her quest to defend her title. The first meeting between the two teams at the Toto Arena a week ago ended in a crushing victory by the hosts by 37 points. This time the Reds' energies were much different and their performances on both sides of the pitch were different.
