Ironi Ashkelon dominated down low during the game scoring 58 of its points in the paint compared to Maccabi Ashdod's 38. The former international guard Raviv Limonad (192-84) fired 24 points, 8 rebounds, 8 assists and 7 steals (on 11-of-12 shooting from the field) for the winners. American power forward J.Raymar Morgan (202-88, college: Michigan St.) chipped in 21 points and 9 rebounds. Four Ironi Ashkelon players scored in double figures. Ironi Ashkelon's coach Erik Alfassi used a ten-player rotation which allowed the starters a little rest for the next games. American guard Ramel Bradley (188-85, agency: Avi Zilberman) produced 31 points and 5 rebounds (made all of his eleven free throws !!!) and the other American import forward Alex Tyus (203-88, college: Florida) added 11 points, 10 rebounds and 4 blocks respectively for lost side. Ironi Ashkelon (1-0) keeps a position of league leader, which they share with 4 other teams. Loser Maccabi Ashdod still closes the standings with one game lost. Ironi Ashkelon will face Maccabi T-A (#5) in Tel-Aviv in the next round. Maccabi Ashdod will play on the road against Elitzur Netanya and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
