Maccabi TA - Hapoel Jerusalem 96:85

[MikeMaccabiFan]

Great game by Fizer - 28 pt, 7 rb, 4 assists. Morris added 19.
Arnold was good in Jerusalem with 26.

Maccabi still has lots of problems in defense, but they were all the time in control, even when Jerusalem get close. Referees were awful, by the way.

Eliyahu was horrible tonight, don't know what happened to him. Solid game by Cummings, not surprisingly, if one takes in account that Bynum was benched almost whole game. I hope Katash understood that Bynum should sit on the bench if he wants Maccabi to win. Bynum is good finisher, but needs to understand that we all want to see Bynum of the end of last season, and even lot improved, not the Bynum of the beginning...

Despite it was allways looks like Jerusalem is coming back, every time when Maccabi went to double digits, Maccabi was completely in control.

in the final minutes, it seems that both teams made an "cease fire". Maccbi didn't try to "kill" and Jerusalem didn't give the fouls that they had.

Maybe Maccabi did not wanted to win with a big margin, they did not wanted Holon fans to get angry enough. We all know what could happen that night

We see this season different team of Maccabi in Israeli league and in Europe. If in Israel, yellow-blue can beat with a big margin every opponent, till now in Euroleague we barely can win against small teams.
