It was the most classic edge game to have just highlighted the huge differences between the top of the Premier League and the depth of last place. Hapoel Jerusalem crushed Maccabi Ashdod 51:72 and stopped it for the lowest number of points this season in the league.
After three weeks and five league games in the Red and Europeans, tonight returned to the Arena and kept a clean balance from home losses in all frames. But this past week Jerusalem was the most unstable. On the one hand, a very surprising loss at Gilboa, and then an excellent victory in Poland over Wloclawek that put them in first place in the Champions League when the two games shared is a weak defense that averaged 100 points.
Jerusalem's defense tonight looked completely different courtesy of the opposing opponent. Ashdod led another 18:21 in the 11th minute, but Jerusalem lowered the visitor to 7 points in the second quarter and 11th in the third.
Jacob Brown got rest and with such a result and clear power relations got the most attention Shelvin Mack - the sparkling procurement that made his debut. The 34th-ranked player in the Draft, went through 8 years of NBC and nearly 500 games in the best league in the world of a sea of expectations. Tonight, he went up to play in the 7th minute and scored three immediately. In almost 19 minutes, he finished with 10 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists. In every case, playing first and another against such a rival is surely not a measure and not the answer to whether he is the player who will succeed in bringing Jerusalem's big upgrade.
Ashdod appeared in a missing lineup tonight. Jerusalem ex Lior Eliyahu did not play because of injury to La Dontay Hunton due to injury but it also does not justify her ability in the last three quarters. She is now building on the three consecutive home games she has in an attempt to regain herself in the league.
