And thanks to Exit. Hapoel Tel Aviv defeated Gilboa / Galil tonight (Thursday) 93:96 and arranged for another few days of quiet for coach Ariel Beit Halahmi.

The Reds looked uncomfortable on both sides of the field and were already in double digits in the second quarter. They then responded with a run of their own, thanks to excellent ability by Jordan Hamilton and Latvius Williams, and despite a series of nonsense in the final minutes, managed to keep the home running.

In Gilboa / Galil there is a lot of pressure and unrest. To get back on track, the Northern must make a change or two on the foreign roster. Along the line is Edgar Sosa, who missed a critical three-pointer on the buzzer, and Jarvis Varnado, who, despite his 206 inches, took just one repeat ball.

9 boom. The game ends between Maccabi Ashdod and Maccabi Rishon Lezion ended in a 81:94 victory, part of the top team from the wine city, which continues its wonderful season.

The Ashdods were well enticed, trying to continue the positive momentum from the surprising victory over Ness Ziona municipalities earlier this week. They led during the first half, but in the next 20 minutes there was one team on the field.

Alex Hamilton provided another formidable offensive display and Haifa on a medium day by Daryl Monroe. Young Noam Spokesperson provided very good minutes, and with a career record at points (10) was one of the factors for Guy Goodes' ninth victory.

A makeover in the heart of the colony. Urban Ness Ziona beat Maccabi Haifa in 91:98 in a match between two of the league's most ambitious teams. The Orange lagged for three quarters, but a great last ten minutes gave them a valuable win.

The miracle of Ness Ziona was achieved despite a mediocre evening by star Jeff Whitey, and much thanks to excellent play by Jeremy Halwell and Tal Dan. On the green side, James Young, the league's top scorer, was once again unstoppable, but the defense that worked well in recent times just didn't work.
