1) The Israel National Basketball Team fell in dramatic fashion in overtime on the road in Germany 112-98<\/strong>. The drama actually took place at the end of the regulation with Israel ahead 92-90. Tomer Ginat missed hitting the rim on the back end of a pair of free throws leaving 0.4 seconds left on the clock, giving Oklahoma City Thunder guard Dennis Schroder the opportunity to pass the ball in to Maximilian Kleber who put in the day bucket as time expired. Once the game headed into overtime Israel was out of steam as Germany ran away with the victory. <\/p>\n

Jake Cohen led Israel with 23 points, Tamir Blatt added 16 points and 10 assists, Nimrod Levi and Itay Segev each had 14 points while Yovel Zoosman dropped 13 points, pulled down 7 rebounds and dished out 8 assists for Israel. Dennis Schroder scored 30 points and handed out 13 assists while Robin Benzing added 24 points in the win. <\/p>\n

Head Coach Oded Katash<\/strong>, \u201cIt was a tough one, and we found a real special way to lose the game. We played great for 30 minutes, and we lost the game twice. The way we lost was tough for the players. We have a lot for young players and it could have been a very special one for the guys. I am really proud of my players. I am the first to learn from these games and I am taking the responsibility for the loss. I have only good things to say about my players.\u201d<\/p>\n

Itay Segev<\/strong> added, \u201cGermany is a very high level team and we all saw that today. We played good basketball today, unfortunately we didn\u2019t come up with the win, but there are a lot of positives we can take from the game.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jake Cohen<\/strong> also commented, \u201cUnfortunately I\u2019ve lost games like this before and it\u2019s never fun but we have to take this as a learning experience. We have a young team and hopefully this teaches us a valuable lesson so it doesn’t happen to us again.\u201d<\/p>\n

Moving in the right direction: \u201cWe have a couple more games coming up. We are getting better and we are moving in the right direction which is better than losing and not getting better which is not the case.\u201d<\/p>\n

Having a good game: \u201cI feel like I could have done more. Its frustrating to lose and any time you lose you feel that you didn\u2019t do enough.\u201d
