Hapoel and Afula met last December for the first time since 2010. The game, which Hapoel arrived with a missing squad without all the foreigners, ended with a home W for Afula. In the upcoming game it will look different. The players are here, and Hapoel returns to her defensive streak with 3 consecutive wins. On the other hand, Afula comes to Pais Arena after a 90-87 home loss to Ramat Gan when Cassius Stanley showed impressive ability with 19 points on 70% from the field and 4 assists.


Or Cornelius, wants to maintain the winning streak.

As mentioned, starting from the second quarter of the last game Hapoel returned to her defensive nature. Levi Randolph and Chris Johnson led an 8-0 run with the help of Hapoel's Israelis led by Yovel Zoosman who tightened the defense and returned the pace of the game to the home team. At the start of the second half, Zach Hankins showed complete dominance in the paint, and with quick threes by Levi Randolph and Chris Johnson, they established a double-digit lead. From there, Hapoel no longer looked back on the way to the semi-finals of the State Cup.
