Israeli Star Ben Sharaf Leads Home Team to Potential Championship

Dramatic Victory in Playoff Series

In an exhilarating matchup just days before the NBA Draft, Israeli player Ben Sharaf propelled his team, ALM, to a narrow 81-79 victory over Bayern Munich in an away game. This win places ALM ahead 2-1 in the German playoff finals, bringing them start win away from clinching the championship title during their upcoming home game on Tuesday.

Sharaf’s Outstanding Performance

At just 19 years old, Sharaf demonstrated exceptional skill and determination throughout the game. After struggling to make an impact in the series’ first game in Munich and delivering an average performance in the second game at home, Sharaf showcased his talents in this pivotal contest. He started strong, scoring two quick baskets, and remained on the court for most of the game, contributing decisively to ALM’s success.

During the third quarter, Sharaf took charge, scoring 10 crucial points that helped maintain his team’s momentum and secure a slim lead. In the nail-biting final minutes, his teammate Justinian Jessup, who finished with 22 points, hit three monumental three-pointers-two of which were set up by Sharaf-ultimately sealing the victory despite a missed buzzer-beater from Nick Weiler-Babb.

Sharaf played for 32 minutes, finishing with impressive numbers:

• Points: 20 (9/15 from the field)
• Rebounds: 4
• Assists: 4
• Steals: 2

Looking Ahead

With the chance to secure the title now within reach, Sharaf’s performance will be critical in the upcoming game. Notably, this championship opportunity comes just over 24 hours before the NBA Draft, where his future in professional basketball hangs in the balance.

Next up, ALM will look to capitalize on their home-court advantage on Tuesday to secure the championship trophy and solidify Sharaf’s burgeoning legacy in both the German basketball league and potentially the NBA
