Some players change an entire team, an entire season.
Tyros Maggie meets the definition.
The new-old guard is the kind of player for whom the fans buy a ticket and get to the pitches.
Hapoel Holon put their hand deep in their pocket to bring in Maggie, and already after one game it paid off big for her.
Tonight (Wednesday) the Purples achieved a big victory when they defeated the strong Ludwigsburg 51:69 and recorded their first victory in the top 16 of the Champions League.
The first half was one of the strangest we have seen in a long time and ended at 21:22 for Holon.
The Germans put up gear in the third quarter and were already up for a small lead, then Maggie woke up with four threes, almost consecutive, flying the Purples to a double-digit lead from which they no longer looked back.

Maggie led the list of scenes with 19 points and swept Holon to a big difference that could be very significant in the continuation of the struggles for promotion to the quarterfinals.
Joe Ragland excelled with a handsome double-double of 10 points and no less than 14 assists.
Holon can now rest in peace for the week of the cup and the semifinals against Bnei Herzliya on Sunday.
The next time she returns to the Champions League will be in early March when she meets Glastrai (who surprisingly lost 75:72 at home to Dijon) twice in 48 hours for a duel that will greatly determine the future of the European season.
