Ironi Nes-Ziona made 25-of-28 free shots (89.3 percent) during the game. They looked well-organized offensively handing out 23 assists. It was a good game for naturalized Welsh Tal Michael Dunne (196-87) who led his team to a victory with 22 points and 5 rebounds. American forward Craig Smith (201-83, college: Boston Coll.) contributed with 18 points and 8 rebounds (perfect from the field making all six shots) for the winners. Four Ironi Nes-Ziona players scored in double figures. American power forward Jeremis Smith (203-86, college: Georgia Tech) answered with 19 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists (perfect from the field making all six shots) and the other American import point guard Isaiah Swann (188-85, college: Florida St.) added 18 points and 4 assists in the effort for Maccabi Rishon. The winner was already known earlier in the game, so both coaches allowed to play the bench players saving starting five for next games. Ironi Nes-Ziona have a solid series of three victories in a row. They moved-up to second place, which they share with Hapoel J-M. Maccabi Rishon at the other side keeps the fourth position with six games lost. They share it with Hapoel T-A and Hapoel Holon. Ironi Nes-Ziona is looking forward to face Maccabi Haifa (#8) on the road in the next round which should be theoretically another easy game. Maccabi Rishon will play against Hapoel Holon (#6) and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
