The Blue &#038; White fell to Ukraine 85-83 as Rich Howell scored 17 points while Jake Cohen added 17 of his own in the defeat. Height advantage was the name of the game as Ukraine had plenty of it as outrebounded Israel 55-26 as the Blue &#038; White didn\u2019t do themselves any favors from 3-point range going an abysmal 4\/23 from long distance. Israel had a chance to steal the win but missed a pair of last gasp 3-pointers.
