Kiriat Ata will attempt to secure their first away victory of the season in the Winner League basketball league on Sunday evening, facing Ironi Nes Ziona in the fifth round. Both teams enter the matchup with identical 2-2 records, meaning a win will propel one of them to a winning record. This marks the second encounter between the two clubs this season; Nes Ziona previously defeated Kiriat Ata 98-94 in the Winner Cup group stage at Ramz Arena. The upcoming game will be played at Lev HaMoshavah Arena, with Nes Ziona hoping to replicate their earlier success.
Kiriat Ata, coached by Eldad Bentov, is coming off a strong 97-87 home win against Bnei Herzeliya in their last game. In that victory, the team achieved a notable statistic, with their Israeli players scoring a combined 78 points, while none of their three foreign players reached double digits. Captain Tomer Assaig led Kiriat Ata with 19 points and seven assists, earning him a spot in the league's weekly honor roll for the second time in four rounds. Assaig and his teammates are now aiming for their first road win, which would give them a winning record for the first time since the previous season, when they finished with a 6-5 record.
Kiriat Ata's record fell to 6-6 last season after a 100-91 loss to Nes Ziona, a deficit from which they did not recover to a winning standing. The team will be without player Woods, who continues to be sidelined due to a groin injury. Meanwhile, Daniel Sharon is celebrating his 21st birthday and received a special reception during the morning practice.
