Hapoel Holon records a second consecutive victory, and this season is no big deal. Dadas' team utilized a second consecutive home game to win 81:87, and like a game against Eilat, it did so without convincing ability.

The power relationship should have given Holon a convincing victory over Gilboa / Galilee. The reason: Gilboa played in a very missing lineup without its two highs Jarvis Vernado and injured Justin Tillman who was injured after just one minute of play.

Gilboa came to a close in each of its last four games, and today all odds were against it. Excellent play by Jarmar Galli (26 points, 14 rebounds, 39th index), Ido Fleischer's double double (10 points and 11 rebounds) and plenty of will and fighting helped her survive almost to the finish. In the last quarter, Guy Panini (who with 23 points breaks a season record for the second week in a row) and Marcus Foster left the guest with the compliments and also maintained a perfect home balance this season.

Sags and Young. Statement of intent by Maccabi Haifa // Photo: Maor Alexassi

Maccabi Haifa started this season with three losses. Today she achieved her seventh victory and is close to the top with 50 percent success. A 79:88 victory over Maccabi Rishon Lezion third is definitely a statement of intent. Haifa has played three home games of the last four and they all came out victorious.

For three quarters the game was tight, but the local team secured the victory with a 2:14 run early in the fourth quarter that put it at 60:74. The Orange on the evening of 8 from 30 to 3 succumbed to this host momentum. Goodes' team did not persuade, with the exception of Darryl Monroe's excellent game - 27 points, 75 percent from the field, and 32nd.

In Haifa it was again Gregory Vargas (17 points) that with 8 assists he has closed 43 assists in the last 4 games yesterday. The Ex Factor off the bench was Willie Workman with 11 points and 6 rebounds.
