Israeli basketball clubs deliver on all fronts and across the world, from Hapoel Tel Aviv's victory in Israel, to Maccabi Tel Aviv in Dubai, to Hapoel Jerusalem in Slovenia.

The first game back in Israel provided plenty of excitement as Lonnie Walker (29 points) and Roman Sorkin (26 points) led the way for the yellow-and-blue.
