Date: February 9, 2015
An interesting game took place in Nahariya where higher ranked Ironi Nes-Ziona (10-9) was upset on the court of tenth ranked Ironi Nahariya (7-12) 91-86. The hosts took control from the first minutes by winning first half. But Ironi Nes-Ziona won third quarter 29-19. However it was not enough to take a lead and get a victory that evening. The game was decided in the last minutes when Ironi Nahariya won last quarter 24-21. They made 22-of-29 charity shots (75.9 percent) during the game. Their players were unselfish on offense dishing 21 assists. Americans were the main players on the court. Worth to mention a great performance of guard Mark Lyons (185-89, college: Arizona) who helped to win the game recording 23 points and 9 assists (made all of his eight free throws). John Williamson (200-86, college: Cincinnati, agency: KMG Sports Management) contributed with 21 points and 7 rebounds for the winners. Five Ironi Nahariya players scored in double figures. Forward Craig Smith (201-83, college: Boston Coll.) answered with 27 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists (on 10-of-12 shooting from the field) and guard Preston Knowles (187-89, college: Louisville) added 20 points and 6 assists in the effort for Ironi Nes-Ziona. Ironi Nahariya moved-up to ninth place, which they share with Bnei Hertzeliyya. Ironi Nes-Ziona lost their fourth game in a row. They keep the fifth position with nine games lost. Ironi Nahariya's next round opponent will be higher ranked Hapoel Holon (#3) on the road and it will be quite challenging to get another victory. Ironi Nes-Ziona will play against the league's second-placed Hapoel Jerusalem having rather not much hope for a victory.
