The game in Tel-Aviv was also worth to mention about. Second ranked Hapoel Jerusalem (20-7) played at the court of 5th ranked Hapoel Tel-Aviv (14-13). Hapoel Jerusalem managed to secure a 4-point victory 82-78. It looked good early as Hapoel Tel-Aviv took a 2-point small lead at the end of first quarter. But then Hapoel Jerusalem had a 23-17 second period charge getting the lead and Hapoel Tel-Aviv was not able to take back game control losing it eventually 78-82. Hapoel Jerusalem players were unselfish on offense dishing 23 assists. They brought some defensive toughness making 8 blocks. 26 personal fouls committed by Hapoel Tel-Aviv helped opponents get some easy free throw opportunities. The best player for the winners was American point guard Tywain McKee (188-86, college: Coppin St.) who scored 20 points and 8 rebounds. His fellow American import Tony Gaffney (204-84, college: Massachusetts, agency: Inception Sports) chipped in 18 points, 7 rebounds and 6 blocks. At the other side the best for losing team was American power forward Yancy Gates (206-89, college: Cincinnati) who recorded 26 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists and the former international Raviv Limonad (191-84) added 12 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists respectively.
