The visitors' threes continued in the second quarter, when Maccabi Urbani Ramat Gan did not find the ring - 27:17.
Gur Lavi's good minutes left the advantage of the Northerners, but an offensive rebound of the home team offset to 29:26.
The momentum of Maccabi Urban Ramat Gan continued and Elijah Hirsch set up a 32:31 advantage, two minutes into the half.

With the opening of the last quarter, Kiryat Ata increased the gap to 46:56 thanks to Yariv Amiram.
Dakrai Tucker and Shachar Amir responded with two threes in a row, but Ido Davidi returned with a three - 59:52, five minutes to go.
Dots in the color of Abdulia Goya and Muriel Lotati kept Maccabi Urbani Ramat Gan in the game - 59:56, three and a half minutes to go.
Maccabi Urbani Ramat Gan missed a number of opportunities in the last minutes, and saw Shalogi score from half distance and set 61:56, 1:20 to go.
Hence, an unsportsmanlike offense and a big Giorno three-pointer closed the story and sent Kiryat Ata Urban to celebrate league promotion.
