Hapoel Jerusalem yesterday (Monday) secured their place in the playoff semifinals thanks to a crushing 42:84 over Hapoel Gilboa / Galil who completed 1: 3 in the quarterfinals series.
"We knew we had reached a series against a tough and aggressive team, for the first game we were complacent and it cost us dearly, later we went out to play our basketball and expressed our advantages," said Noam Dovrat.

capital knows that in the semi-final against Hapoel Holon it will already be a completely different story.
"This is a shorter series, better than 3 against a better team than the one we met now, Holon is a different story," added a spokeswoman.
A source in the group said: "There is going to be a big series."
Yotam Halperin referred to the fact that his team defeated Holon in all three meetings between the two earlier this season, and rejected any connection to the opening series: "These victories are worth nothing, starting with 0-0, whoever wins the series will advance to the final, it will not be easy, "Women behind what has been until now. I hope the series we went through will let us understand how important it is not to come complacent to the first game, because we have seen what has been until now. Our basketball and energies can beat any team."
The team added: "We have four victories left until we achieve our goal - to win the championship."
Prolonged
discussions took place during the last day on the game hour on Friday.
The league administration and the team worked to start the game as early as possible in favor of the Sabbath keepers, and indeed managed to bring the opening whistle forward to 15:00.
