Maccabi Rishon LeZion - Hapoel Haifa 98: 104.
Jeremy Fargo, who came to Maccabi Rishon LeZion during the season, has already done everything in Israeli basketball.
Yesterday he exploded on the floor at Maccabi and showed exactly why Guy Goodes believes in him so much and trusts him.
After a quality game with excellent attacks and a little less defense, Rishon LeZion recorded a fourth victory in its last five games, and the main responsible for this is Fargo. The veteran coordinator, with a display of 30 points, 6 threes and 6 assists, returned the Oranges from behind with two threes of Golan is good.
Goodes' team continues the good period it is in, and on the other hand the newcomer is already counting a third consecutive loss.
Unlike the previous two, this time it showed great ability.
It was a game in which 110 points were scored in the first half, and no less than 30 threes were scored in the entire game.
It was also a game where the momentum moved from side to side drastically.
In other words: we saw everything in him.
12 points for the Oranges, close to the break, became a plus for Haifa during the third quarter - until Operation Fargo began.
Maccabi Haifa - Bnei Herzliya 79:89.
The Greens no longer lock the table Haifa's fourth victory of the season brought its opponent closer to the bottom.
It was Herzliya's third loss in a row, and Maccabi Haifa did it in Ido Kozyakro's debut game as an assistant coach.
What a wonderful timing.
Haifa, which suffered an unpleasant defeat in Rishon LeZion in the previous round, looked completely different yesterday.
It happened thanks to her two highs: Roman Sorkin (did not score a point in the previous game and this time finished with 22) and Michael Cobins.
Also the excellent offensive ability of Chris Dow (23) and Kaylin Lucas (11 rebounds) did its thing.
Herzliya got Gabe Levin back after an absence of four months of injury, but apart from Max Heidegger none of its players have risen.
Gilboa / Galil - Urban Ness Ziona 89:92.
After the big promotion to the Final Four of the European Cup, the Oranges gave up in Gan Ner - their third consecutive loss in the league.
The locals, after a crisis of three losses, are already putting together a second consecutive victory.
The game was evenly matched throughout, and ended after a dramatic overtime.
Brian Angola (2-of-12 for three) tied at 83-83 with 12 seconds left and forced another five minutes.
In a 89:89 situation, Joe Thomson scored twice from the penalty line and prevailed with only 9 seconds left.
Kerry Blackshire from Gilboa excelled with 34 points and 14 rebounds.
