After the victory over Maccabi Tel Aviv, Hapoel Eilat does not stop.
The southern team won tonight (Wednesday) in Rishon LeZion 90:95 and strengthens its position at the top.
The hostess, on the other hand, is very close to the bottom.
Jeremy Fargo's very good debut did not help Maccabi Rishon Lezion, Daryl Monroe's triple double and Golan Gutt's 7 threes. However, Fargo's ability after 8 months without basketball can encourage her to continue.
Eilat came out behind 14 in the second quarter (34:48) and coped well even after losing a 12-point lead in the third quarter. Beit Halachmi's team introduced three players with a double-double. Josh Nibo led the season with 21 points and no less than 17 rebounds. In addition to him, Joe Ragland (18 points and 10 assists) and Casey Prather (26 points and 10 rebounds) stood out.
