Three games were held this evening in the basketball league, as part of the 17th round. Maccabi Rashab defeats Gilboa / Galilee and continues to approach Hapoel Jerusalem, Nahariya defeats Hapoel Beit Shemesh at home, and Ashdod looks like the safest national downfall after a home loss to Eilat.
Maccabi Ashdod - Hapoel Eilat 98:87
Maccabi Ashdod's grave condition has become human. The last one in the table lost last time to Eilat 98:87. Meaning: Ashdod's minus in the depths of the table has grown to 4 wins.
Eilat rose to 16 in the second quarter. The hostess fought, dropping to 86:91 with a minute left, but Rivonte Rice scored and lost interest in a game in which there were no fewer than 70 penalty shots and whipped 57 fouls.

Maccabi Rishon Lezion - Hapoel Gilboa / Galilee 64:90
Maccabi Rasht defeated Hapoel Gilboa / Galil in 64:90 in a game that showed the gaps between the teams. The Oranges belong to the top and aim for the Final Four, the Northern will be happy to play in the playoffs.
The Rishon took the lead from the opening thanks to an excellent play by James Kelly and a career high of talented Noam spokeswoman. No loser can be mentioned for the loser. At least Yotam Hanochi returned from a long injury and showed sparks.

Urban Nahariya defeated Hapoel Beer Sheva 74:87. This is the first time Nahariya has won it since Beer Sheva emerged from the second league after four losses.
Nahariya's big run in the early third quarter brought her to 49:66. All of Be'er Sheva's attempts to return failed. Nahariya has six players in double digits, a great performance by two seniors Tony Gaffney and Damon Simpson.
