Regular Season Round 23: Hapoel G/A - Ironi Ramat Gan 99-96

Date: March 24, 2015
The most exciting game of round 23 in the National League took place in Afula. This derby game ended with only three-point defeat on the road of 7th ranked Ironi Ramat Gan (12-11) to fifth ranked Hapoel Afula (15-8) 99-96 on Tuesday evening. The hosts started the game with a very strong first quarter 26-17. But Ironi Ramat Gan won second period 32-25. However it was not enough to take a lead and get a victory that evening. The game was decided in the last minutes when Hapoel Afula won last quarter 26-24. Strangely Ironi Ramat Gan outrebounded Hapoel Afula 42-29 including 29 on the defensive glass. They looked well-organized offensively handing out 22 assists. Great defensive blocking was one of the keys in this match when Hapoel Afula made 8 blocks. 25 personal fouls committed by Ironi Ramat Gan helped opponents get some easy free throw opportunities. It was a great evening for American power forward David Loubeau (203-89, college: Texas A&M) who led his team to a victory scoring 29 points, 7 rebounds and 5 blocks. His fellow American import guard Shannon Shorter (193-89, college: N.Texas) helped adding 24 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists. Four Hapoel Afula players scored in double figures. American guard Kwame Vaughn (190-90, college: CS Fullerton) responded with 27 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists and center Nimrod Levi (204-95) scored 19 points and 6 rebounds. Ironi Ramat Gan's coach rotated ten players in this game, but that didn't help. Hapoel Afula moved-up to fourth place, which they share with Netanya. Ironi Ramat Gan at the other side keeps the seventh position with 11 games lost. Hapoel Afula is looking forward to face league's second-placed Hapoel Migd.H. in Tarshicha in the next round and it will be quite challenging to get another victory. Ironi Ramat Gan will play at home against GreenTops Netanya (#4) and is hoping to prove to their supporters that this time they can win.
