What a celebration was recorded tonight (Thursday) on the floor when the newcomer Hapoel Haifa achieved a dramatic 99: 101 victory over the holder of the Hapoel Jerusalem Cup.
Despite the level differences between the two groups, the host did not lower her head and did not allow the host to escape.
Even when Jerusalem had already gained a double-digit advantage, Hussein's players answered with their own run when Keenan Evans' three big wins gave the Reds from Carmel a big victory, holding an unimaginable balance of 2:23 in meetings against the team from the capital.
"Mentally, our defensive game was not at the right pace," said Jerusalem coach
Dainius Adumatis
.
"On offense we were fine, but we allowed them to score easy baskets. Two minutes into the second quarter, I talked to the players in a timeout, and instructed them to focus on defending their threes. Then we snatched threes again. We kept good for 21 seconds, then we made a mistake, they scored and the players "They started blaming each other. We need to change these things quickly."
The Lithuanian continued: "I am concerned about one thing: in the last two games, we have kept well for three quarters, and this time we got to an away game with a different mentality. We have to train. The key in defense is habits, and that is what we work on in training. "Basketball and our job, and do it. It's normal for you to be angry after a loss. I guess everyone on the team is angry."

Game man Keenan Evans said after the game: "We needed a big basket, my friends and the coach believed in me. I saw the basket and managed to score the shot. I knew that if we put in a lot of work outside, we can do a lot. The coach, the chairman all told us how much it was. Great to beat Hapoel Jerusalem.
Hapoel Haifa is like a family, you see that everyone poured water on me.
It's like family and everyone's like my brothers.
"There were some conversations and trash talk between Jacoben Brown and me, he is an excellent player and that is part of the game."
