Almost three weeks after playing for the last time due to a forced corona break, Bnei Herzliya returned to the pitches tonight (Monday) and defeated Hapoel Gilboa / Galil 71:80 at home.
The Northerners, who have already played last Thursday, are in better physical shape and fitness, and started strong, but the team from Sharon turned in the second quarter and did not look back until the final whistle.
Andy Van Wallit led the winning list of scorers with 16 points, Chinano Onoako provided another wonderful game under the baskets with no less than 19 rebounds, including 8 rebounds on offense.
Oren Aharoni's team recorded a fifth victory in the last six games that raised it to second place in the table.
From the other side, Gilboa, who are missing the London Frantes, Derrick Cook and Or Cornelius, have suffered a sixth loss in the last seven games and are complicated at the bottom.
21 points from Sasha Kielia-Jones and 19 from Tios Battle were not enough for Guy Kaplan's side.
