But all of sudden it began to rain 3\u2019s as Jalen Adams, Adam Ariel, Retin Obasohan and Ariel once again all drilled home triples to retake the lead and race off a 21-5 run to end the game and <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3CA6NXC\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">snatch the 89-77 win<\/a> that has looked very shaky as time wound down.<\/p>\n<p>It was a key moment for the Reds after having lost to Bnei Herzliya last week. They wanted to get back to their winning ways despite having what one would call an unbalanced roster and that is what they did under interim head coach Yotam Halperin who is looking more and more like a full time head coach as the days and weeks pass by. The players like him and so far no one can argue about his success as he is most definitely a \u201cplayers coach\u201d.<br \/>\n<div id=\"attachment_45455\" style=\"width: 2058px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-45455\" src=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/CC50933E-E78F-48AB-B323-3D233FD5BD64.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1366\" class=\"size-full wp-image-45455\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/CC50933E-E78F-48AB-B323-3D233FD5BD64.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/CC50933E-E78F-48AB-B323-3D233FD5BD64-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/CC50933E-E78F-48AB-B323-3D233FD5BD64-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/CC50933E-E78F-48AB-B323-3D233FD5BD64-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/CC50933E-E78F-48AB-B323-3D233FD5BD64-1536x1025.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/CC50933E-E78F-48AB-B323-3D233FD5BD64-610x407.jpeg 610w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/CC50933E-E78F-48AB-B323-3D233FD5BD64-1080x720.jpeg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-45455\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Adam Ariel &#8211; Photo Credit: Basket.co.il<\/p><\/div><br \/>\n\u201cWe\u2019ve been clicking as you can see,\u201d Anthony Bennett said following the game. \u201cWe have been getting a lot more open looks and lot more open shots.

But the system gives us a lot more freedom and space for our guards to work and our bigs to pop and roll and create.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The creating was done primarily by the guards over the course of the first half with Obasohan and Adams handling the majority of the scoring for Halperin who is well aware that changes must happen to his roster if they want to be able to compete for the available titles throughout the season.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are looking for that balance and the points weren\u2019t split up the way we wanted it to be. We did know though that if they would be good we would be very hard to play against. \u201c<\/p>\n<p>However, the turning point was what was said during the break in action when Jerusalem found themselves in a hole Adams explained, \u201cCoach told us to focus on our defense and that we had to get stops consistently, That\u2019s when we saw our lead build.
