Regular Season Round 3: Hapoel T-A - Elizur Ashkelon 78-70
Date: October 28, 2012
The game between closely ranked teams ended with bottom-ranked Ironi Ashkelon's (0-3) road loss to eighth ranked Hapoel Tel-Aviv (2-1) 70-78. The hosts were ahead by 2 points but lost the second period ending it with a 7-point deficit before their 24-9 run, which allowed them to win the game. Hapoel Tel-Aviv dominated down low during the game scoring 56 of its points in the paint compared to Ironi Ashkelon's 30. 28 personal fouls committed by Ironi Ashkelon helped opponents get some easy free throw opportunities. It was a good game for naturalized Swedish power forward Jonathan Skjoldebrand (204-83, agency: Ronsport) who led his team to a victory with 19 points and 8 rebounds. American power forward Jeff Allen (201-87, college: Virginia Tech) contributed with 19 points for the winners. American guard Marcus Moore (198-80, college: Washington St., agency: Laszlo Vinko Group) answered with 20 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists and the other American import power forward Taj Gray (204-84, college: Oklahoma) added 14 points and 6 rebounds (went 8 for 8 at the free throw line) in the effort for Ironi Ashkelon. Ironi Ashkelon's coach tested ten players in this game, but that didn't help. Hapoel Tel-Aviv moved-up to third place, which they share with 5 other teams. Ironi Ashkelon at the other side still closes the standings with three games lost. Hapoel Tel-Aviv's next round opponent will be league's leader Maccabi Rishon in Rishon Le-Zion and it will be for sure the game of the week. Ironi Ashkelon will play at home against the league's second-placed GreenTops Netanya (#2) and looks forward to get finally their first victory.
