After almost a surprise in Jerusalem, Maccabi Rishon LeZion tonight (Thursday) missed a great opportunity to beat Hapoel Galil Elyon in Kfar Blum.
The host for its part stopped a streak of three losses with a winning basket by Ike Irbo 4.7 seconds to go - and won 80:81.
Rishon LeZion remains in last place with only two victories and two victories behind Mivtachim. New coach Dror Cohen loses in the debut. Noam Dovrat (on the way to Hapoel Jerusalem) gave his best game of the season (14 points) but it did not help.
Twice (in the second quarter and at the end of the third) Rishon LeZion led by a double-digit advantage.
She had a point advantage, 43 seconds to go.
On the next offense she already had a rebound in hand with Damon Simpson, but he lost it.
This is the guest's chain of misses.
Galil, on the other hand, who led for the first time in the game just a minute and a half before the end, knew how to take advantage of an opportunity.
Shabon Lewis with 26 points out of 4 3-pointers, was the standout for the winner.
