Israel and Guy Goodes did exactly what they needed to in window #1 of FIBA World Cup qualifying; go a perfect 2-0 alert knocking off Estonia 79-69<\/a>. Nothing more and nothing less would have been satisfactory as cruel as it sounds, The Blue & White had to win both of these games in order to make sure that should they advance to them second round, their record would place them as high as possible to get that much closer to punching their ticket to the top tournament for the first time since 1986. <\/p>\n

They got the job done, in style.<\/p>\n

Beating Poland at hime after going down by 15 points in the first quarter was good and dropping Estonia on the road was even better. Israel looked good, they looked strong and they didn\u2019t let an early deficit in their first game set the tone for this window. They let there response do that.
