Last week in the last round of the regular league, Hapoel Jerusalem lost first place.
Tonight (Monday) with the opening of the Upper House games she returned to him after defeating Hapoel Galil Elyon in the arena 78:94.
The fall against the last in the table Maccabi Rishon LeZion in the previous game was left behind and today the team from the capital returned to play convincing basketball.
The Northern team was badly hurt by the absence of DJ Kennedy who announced right near the opening that he was injured.
Jerusalem started strong with 14:28, but the visitors knew how to get things back on track and lower the lead until the third quarter.
The former X Factor in Jerusalem - Willie Workman - helped her regain control with 11 points and 7 rebounds and Jaylen Adams once again demonstrated his immense offensive talent with 23 points in 25 minutes.
All this brought Jerusalem to cross the 20 point mark and finish the game already at the beginning of the fourth quarter.

In the lower house, Hapoel Gilboa / Galil retains the possibility of reaching the playoffs.
Following its 81:91 home win over Hapoel Eilat, it is now a victory away from eighth place.
Eilat (Chris Evans in the premiere) got itself out of the bottom with two consecutive wins, but the loss in Gan Ner keeps it from reaching the playoffs.
Although she scored only four threes the entire game, the home team showed superiority and already reached 58:75.
Eilat tried to come back and reduced towards the end, but could not actually endanger.
The host enjoyed an excellent evening of Tios Battle and London Frantes who put together 49 points.
