Maccabi Tel Aviv returned to the winning track this evening (Sunday) after beating Ironi Kiryat Ata with a score of 88:100 at Remaz Hall, with the help of a wonderful game by Jake Cohen, who led the list of scorers for the guest with 15 points.
Two days after the loss in Greece to Olympiakos and at the beginning of a double week in the Euroleague during which they will go to Spain for a pair of difficult away games, Oded Ketch's apprentices returned to the local arena and met the newcomer of Sharon Abrahami.
The piquant story of the match was the return of Suleiman Braymo for a third term on the Premier League courts.
The forward, who previously played for Hapoel Eilat and Hapoel Jerusalem, made his debut in the yellow uniform.
The host opened the game with high energy and led by Shavon Lewis, who went into halftime with a six-point lead, but wonderful minutes by Jake Cohen, Yiftah Ziv and Wade Baldwin in the third quarter turned the game around and gave the Yellows the victory.
After the match, the Yellows will return to the European arena and tomorrow they will go to Spain for the pair of games that await them against Barcelona on Tuesday and Valencia on Thursday, while the northern team will go to Kfar Bloom next week and meet Hapoel Galil Alyon.
Mashor and Baldwin.
