Regular Season Round 12: Maccabi K/G - Ironi K-A 78-93

Date: January 8, 2013
No shocking result in a game in Kiryat Gat where seventh ranked Ironi Kiryat Ata (7-5) defeated 12th ranked Maccabi K/G (3-9) 93-78 on Tuesday. The guests trailed by 1 point after first quarter, but they stormed back to get the 15-point lead at the halftime and eventually won the game 93-78. Ironi Kiryat Ata made 21-of-26 free shots (80.8 percent) during the game. Ironi Kiryat Ata had a 29-17 advantage in offensive rebounds. They looked well-organized offensively handing out 21 assists. Worth to mention a great performance of the former international power forward Chris Watson (200-75, college: Niagara) who helped to win the game recording 26 points and 7 rebounds (on 10-of-11 shooting from the field) and guard Ilan Nanikashvili (187-79, agency: Ronsport) who added 15 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists during the contest. The best for the losing side was American forward Lenny Daniel (203-87, college: CS Northridge) with 27 points and 5 rebounds and his fellow American import swingman Akeem Wright (200-84, college: Kansas St.) scored 21 points and 7 rebounds. Maccabi K/G's coach rotated ten players which allowed the starters a little rest for the next games. Ironi Kiryat Ata maintains seventh position with 7-5 record. Maccabi K/G lost third consecutive game. Newly promoted team dropped to the eleventh place with nine games lost. They share the position with Elitzur Ramla and Kiryat Tivon. Ironi Kiryat Ata will meet at home higher ranked Ironi Ramat Gan (#6) in the next round and it may be quite challenging game. Maccabi K/G will play against the league's leader Ironi Nes-Ziona (#1) where they are definitely not considered as a favorite in this game either.
