Hapoel Jerusalem tonight (Tuesday) defeated Hapoel Gilboa / Galil 61:96 in Gan Ner and equalized the playoff quarterfinal series to 1: 1.
After the surprising loss in the arena in the first game of the series, Yotam Halperin's team started strong on both sides of the field and from the first moment left no chance for the humble opponent.
Retin Obasohan, Jaylen Adams, John Agbono and Willie Workman (13 points each) led the winner.
Suleiman Braimo did a good job under the baskets.
On the other side, Michael Brisker (1-of-8 to 3) and his teammates went down to the ground after the record game on Thursday and scored a low percentage.
Yotam Hanochi was sent off in the middle of the third quarter after a physical confrontation with Workman, the injured Tios Battle did not play again.
On Friday, the teams in the arena will meet for Game No. 3, and early next week they will return to Gan Ner for the fourth game in the series.
Gilboa will have to recover quickly to stay in business.
Hapoel Holon (0: 2 against Upper Galilee) will probably wait for the winner in the next stage.
