Against a quality opponent that is ranked at the top of the factory in baskets for two points, rebounds in attack and defense, and one that also competes in the strong Adriatic League, Danny Franco was looking for the players who would take command and excel in the shadow of the disadvantages, but with the exception of Xavier Manford and Chinano Onako he did not get it from other players, the Reds scored two Only 3-pointers in the game and we suffered a loss.
The Reds, who currently have a wide roster of players, suffered throughout the week in preparation for dealing with a series of injuries and absences, which forced them to list only nine eligible players on the game sheet due to the injury of Jaylen Hurd, who sprained his ankle, the illness of Jacob Brown, and the expected release of Chris Horton, who were not included in the team's roster for the game

The spicy story of the match came from the direction of the visiting French-Guinean center Alpha Kaba, who was one of the main targets of the Tel Avivites in the summer and even held talks with the team, but did not land in the Holy Land due to large financial gaps between the parties.
Tonight against the team that wanted him throughout the summer, he delivered a double-double of 15 points and 14 rebounds.
In the absence of the dominant center and the engine of the team who leads the factory in average assists per factory, the hosts struggled to produce points and stopped at only 14 points, when in front of them Cameron Reynolds snagged five three-pointers already in the first quarter and led his team to a double-digit lead.
Manford and Onako tried to get their team back into the game in the last quarter but Kaba was there to prevent the turnaround.
The Reds don't have much time to prepare for the next game when already on Friday they will be hosted at the Toto Hall for an intriguing top match against Hapoel Holon as part of the seventh round of the Winner League.
