Could the 81:91 victory over Hapoel Eilat be a turning point in Hapoel Tel Aviv's season?
It's too early to say, but what's certain is that the Reds can finally be pleased with the ability they displayed on both sides of the field in the playoffs backlog.
From the start of the season Lannis Castritis has been lacking an aggressive inside player to balance them out and it seems that Tyrick Jones is the right man in the right place.
In his first game in the league (played so far only in the Balkan league) the athletic high provided a presence under the baskets and also cleared his teammates to concentrate on what they know - Gabe York in shooting, Yam Madar in game management and penetrating and Reggie Apshou in a bit of everything.
On Sunday, the test will already be of a much higher degree of difficulty - Maccabi in the municipal derby.
On the other hand, Eilat is losing height with a second consecutive loss since returning from the break and what should be of particular concern to Ariel Beit Halachmi are the low energies and the negative body language of the players.
At the opening of the game, the players of both teams held a ceremony to mark International Holocaust Remembrance Day, which is celebrated around the world today.
The players held a sign with the words #We_Remember, a slogan that accompanies an international campaign of the World Jewish Congress, which has been running on social networks and in other arenas, for the fifth year in a row.
Last year, more than 650 million people worldwide were exposed to a campaign initiated by the World Jewish Congress.
