More winning..

Our team has been playing much better the past 3 games.  We beat Givat Shmuel first by about 8 points.  A tough game with back and forth play but it seemed we were in control for most of the game.  Next, we played Ashkelon.  This is a team that is dangerous because of a couple new signings.  This game was also very close but we pulled away in the last few minutes to get the victory by 7 points.  Our most recent game was against Maccabi Tel Aviv.  This is the giant in our league headlined by former NBA players.  Carlos Arroyo, Dee Brown, and some Israeli players that have been and will be drafted play for them.  It was a packed arena with every seat in the house sold.  Our owner and the vice president flew to Israel just to watch the game and be in the atmosphere.  We started off great going punch for punch with them throughout the 1st half.  They went into the locker room with a 5 point lead.  At the beginning of the 3rd quarter, we came out fighting and made the game close to even going into the 4th quarter.  After some good free throw shooting at the end we came away with a 3 point victory.  Our fans were loving it!  They hate Tel Aviv with a passion so it was a huge win to beat such a fierce rival.  We have one game left in the regular season now and should be set for 3rd place in the playoffs.  I'm very excited about this part of the season..
