Maccabi Tel Aviv dropped Kiryat Ata 91-72<\/strong> as the yellow-and-blue were finally able to pull away in the fourth quarter in a tight opening thirty minutes of play.<\/p>\n

Raz Adam and Amin Stevens along with Guy Palatin helped Kiryat Ata get off to a hot start, but Roman Sorkin and Josh Nebo began dominating the paint while Tamir Blatt got busy as well to give Maccabi Tel viv a 24-21 lead after ten minutes of play. Stevens and Adam continued to pace Sharon Avrahami\u2019s squad while Yariv Amiram found the bucket for the hosts, but Joe Thomasson, John Dibartolomeo, Jasiel Rivero and Blatt scored for Oded Katash\u2019s team as Maccabi stayed in front 49-45 at halftime.

Baldwin and Nebo opened the fourth quarter with points, Adam and Stevens came back with points, Rafi Menco went from deep while Rivero scored as well as Maccabi wrapped up the victory. <\/p>\n

\n\u201cKiryat Ata played quick and the game was fast paced for the first half despite not having one of their best players. We stopped Kiryat Ata in the second half and from there we took the win,\u201d Katash said following the win.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were missing some energy but the free throws going 6\/21 was awful,\u201d Kiryat Ata head coach Sharon Avrahami said. \u201cYou can\u2019t win a game especially against a team like Maccabi with that percentage, but the guys deserve credit as we kept it tight for three quarters. The guys all believe in themselves and that is why we were able to get back into the game.\u201d

\nJosh Nebo spoke about the win, \u201cI\u2019m just trying to be consistent with my focus, effort and attitude and those are the things that I can control.
