Date: October 28, 2012
The most crucial game of the last round was the first loss of undefeated Maccabi T-A (2-1) in Tel-Aviv. Hosts were defeated by Maccabi Rishon (3-0) 81-64. It ended at the same time the two-game winning streak of Maccabi T-A. It was a key game for the top position in the league as both teams had the same 2-0 record before this meeting. The game was mostly controlled by Maccabi Rishon. Maccabi T-A was better in third quarter 22-17. But it was not enough to take a lead and get a victory that evening. Maccabi Rishon forced 19 Maccabi T-A turnovers. It was an exceptional evening for American forward Julian Wright (203-87, college: Kansas) who led the winners and scored 22 points and 9 rebounds. Jamaican-American power forward Adrian Uter (200-84, college: Hofstra, agency: Gross Zeev ISA) accounted for 22 points and 9 rebounds for the winning side. American center Shawn James (207-83, college: Northeastern, agency: Z.A.G. - Law Offices) came up with 19 points, 6 rebounds and 4 blocks and the other American import point guard Ricky Hickman (189-85, college: NC-Greensboro) added 7 points and 6 assists respectively for Maccabi T-A in the defeat. Maccabi T-A's coach David Blatt rotated eleven players seeing no chance for a win. Maccabi Rishon have a solid series of three victories in a row. They keep a position of league leader, which they share with Netanya. Defending champion Maccabi T-A keeps the third place with one game lost. They share the position with 5 other teams. Maccabi Rishon will play against Hapoel Tel-Aviv (#6) at home in the next round which should be theoretically an easy game. Maccabi T-A will play against Maccabi Haifa and hopes to get back on the winning track.
