The bottom is hot.
Tonight (Monday), Maccabi Haifa defeated Hapoel Tel Aviv 73:80 in Romema and in fact created a triangle at the bottom: Hapoel Tel Aviv, Urbani Nahariya and Haifa - all with an equal balance of three victories close the table.
Remember, at the end of the season, two teams are relegated to the National League.
Until tonight, Haifa has won one game since November.
Tonight it was already her first home win of the season and the debut win of coach Amit Ben David.
On the other hand, for the Reds, who surrendered twice this season against the Greens, it was the seventh consecutive loss.
Haifa led in the third quarter 45:53, Hapoel Tel Aviv came back and led. Haifa gave it back and gained a 65:74 advantage.
Roman Sorkin was the most prominent in Haifa with 22 points and 8 rebounds.
Chris Dow scored 22 points in his dress.
On the other side, a disappointing debut for James Young (last season in Haifa), who scored 9 points with 3 of 13 from the field.
Justin Tillman scored 22 for the loser in red.
After the game, "Israel Today" learned that the Greens have been working in recent days to bring back ex Gregory Vargas in a last-ditch attempt to save the season, and the club are waiting for approval from owner Jeff Rosen for the move.
The team hopes that the important victory will convince the owner that there is a good chance of staying in the league and therefore it is worth putting your hand in your pocket.
