A very close game took place in Nes Ziyona between Ironi Nes-Ziona and Hod Hasharon. Eleventh ranked Ironi Nes-Ziona (4-7) got a very close home victory over higher ranked Hod Hasharon (6-6). Ironi Nes-Ziona managed to escape with a 3-point win 95-92 on Tuesday evening. It ended at the same time the two-game winning streak of Hod Hasharon. Hod Hasharon was trailing by 4 points at halftime but managed to get 1-point lead after three quarters before a 23-19 charge of Ironi Nes-Ziona, which allowed them to win the game. They made 22-of-26 free shots (84.6 percent) during the game. Ironi Nes-Ziona outrebounded Hod Hasharon 29-18 including 19 on the defensive glass. They looked well-organized offensively handing out 25 assists. The winners were led by American swingman Bilal Benn (196-86, college: Niagara) who scored that evening 25 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists and naturalized Welsh forward Tal Michael Dunne (197-87) supported him with 20 points. Benn is a former Eurobasket Summer League player, which is considered top international summer league in the market. Even a double-double of 16 points, 5 rebounds and 10 assists by the former international guard Avi Sukar (187-76) did not help to save the game for Hod Hasharon. Puerto Rican point guard Javier Gonzalez (182-89, college: N.Carolina St.) added 19 points and 5 assists. Four Ironi Nes-Ziona and five Hod Hasharon players scored in double figures. Hod Hasharon's coach rotated ten players in this game, but that didn't help. Ironi Nes-Ziona maintains eleventh position with 4-7 record. Loser Hod Hasharon keeps the seventh place with six games lost. They share the position with Ironi K-A. Ironi Nes-Ziona will meet higher ranked Elitzur Ramla (#9) on the road in the next round and it may be quite challenging game. Hod Hasharon will play against Ironi Kiryat Ata and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
