Regular Season Round 2: Hapoel J-M - Hapoel T-A 77-84
Date: October 21, 2012
Everything could happen in Jerusalem at the game between two tied teams. Both tenth ranked Hapoel Tel-Aviv and bottom-ranked Hapoel J-M had identical 0-1 record. But Hapoel J-M was not able to use a home court advantage and was defeated by the opponent from Tel-Aviv 84-77 on Sunday night. The guests were tied at the half but managed to speed up in last two quarters eventually winning the game. Hapoel Tel-Aviv forced 22 Hapoel J-M turnovers. Strangely Hapoel J-M outrebounded Hapoel Tel-Aviv 37-22 including 27 on the defensive glass. The best player for the winners was American point guard Demontez Stitt (186-89, college: Clemson) who scored 20 points. Naturalized Swedish power forward Jonathan Skjoldebrand (204-83, agency: Ronsport) chipped in 17 points and 5 rebounds. Four Hapoel Tel-Aviv players scored in double figures. American forward Craig Smith (201-83, college: Boston Coll.) produced a double-double by scoring 21 points and 11 rebounds and American-Georgian point guard Jacob Pullen (183-89, college: Kansas St.) added 17 points respectively for the hosts. Hapoel J-M's coach Sharon Drucker rotated ten players in this game, but that didn't help. Hapoel Tel-Aviv (1-1) left bottom position moving up to sixth place, which they share with Bnei Hasharon and Hapoel Eilat. Loser Hapoel J-M still closes the standings with two games lost. They share the position with 3 other teams. Hapoel Tel-Aviv will meet at home Ironi Ashkelon (#9) in the next round. Hapoel J-M will play against GreenTops Netanya.
