In order to hit from the outside you need fresh legs. We had a promise that we wouldn\u2019t play back to back games form the Minhelet (the league administration). We have played many games this season and played against a team that played only once a week which showed that we were out of fuel.\u201d<br \/>\n<div id=\"attachment_48685\" style=\"width: 2570px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-48685\" src=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/IMG_1798-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"2132\" class=\"size-full wp-image-48685\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/IMG_1798-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/IMG_1798-300x250.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/IMG_1798-1024x853.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/IMG_1798-768x640.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/IMG_1798-1536x1279.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/IMG_1798-2048x1706.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/IMG_1798-610x508.jpg 610w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/IMG_1798-1080x899.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-48685\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Andy Van Vliet &#8211; Photo Credit: Basket.co.il<\/p><\/div><br \/>\nAndy Van Vliet, Sandy Cohen and Chinanu Onuaku opened the scoring for Bnei Herzliya while Jake Cohen and Kameron Taylor found the basket for Maccabi Tel Aviv but the hosts led 11-4 midway through the first quarter.
