Landon Milbourne dropped 32 points leading Hapoel Eilat to a big home victory 94 – 86 against Maccabi Tel Aviv for the Israeli Winner League. This was the third defeat for the Yellows in thirteen games of the championship while Eliat stands at a 6 – 7 record.

Maccabi had managed to close the halftime ahead in the score 36 – 37 but everything went downhill defensively after their return from the locker rooms. The hosts made buckets at will, putting 58 points in the bank in the second part of the match.

While coach Bagatskis’ players had no problem connecting to the basket, particularly Gal Mekel (23 points) and Andrew Goudelock (19 points), they paid for every single mistake they made (19 turnovers) and didn’t may any stops whatsoever.

Apart from Milbourne, Pierria Henry also wreaked havoc in Maccabi’s defense with 19 points and 9 assists, while Reggie Buckner had 14 points and 8 rebounds.
