\n\u201cWe had a new lineup and practiced for 2.5 weeks so we had an advantage in that area,\u201d Avrahami said. \u201cWe played some very good minutes in this game. The team was built as a young group of guys with Israelis like Ben Saraf, Guy Palatin, Tomer Porat and others. We have two very good imports, Amin Stevens and James Batemon and the new player we signed will integrate into the team as fast as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are not ready to play in the league,\u201d Haifa coach Oren Aharoni began. \u201cWe had two players who just arrived and they haven\u2019t even practiced with the team. We will need to do things quickly but right now things don\u2019t look good and we are not in the game. We have another game coming up on Thursday and we don\u2019t yet have an identity.\u201d

\nBnei Herzliya got by Hapoel Eilat 91-81<\/strong> as Robert Carter did as he pleased to help lead Dan Shamir\u2019s squad to the win by the Red Sea. Carter dominated the first half for the visitors while Deishuan Booker and Elijah Stewart countered for the hosts to head into the break all knotted up at 41-41. However, Willy Workman and Frederic Bourdillon were able to help Herzliya gain separation in the third quarter as Carter scored at will in the final frame to take the win. <\/p>\n

Carter led the way with 35 points, 18 rebounds and a 50 PIR, Bourdillon added 23 points and Workman chipped in with 16 points in the win. Stewart scored 30 points and Booker added 24 points in the loss. <\/p>\n

Robert Carter, the game MVP said, \u201cI\u2019m a pretty loyal guy, I signed here and I wanted to come back and finish the league. Israelis love basketball and I wanted to give something back.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
