Stashed Celtics guard Yam Madar gets 17 points vs. Poland with Israel in EuroBasket play

Stashed Boston Celtics floor general Yam Madar had one of his best games yet in EuroBasket play for the Israeli National Team, but it was not enough to beat the Polish National Team, which won 85-76 on Monday.

The Beit Dagan native put up 17 points, 2 rebounds, 3 assists, a steal and a block in the loss. He shot 5-of-8 from the field overall, a sizzling 2-of-3 from beyond the arc and 5-of-5 from the charity stripe in slightly less than 21 minutes of floor time. Madar committed one turnover but no personal fouls for one of his most complete contests at this level.

Even so, Israel needed more than what Madar alone could provide. It fell to 2-1 in Group D play. Poland seized the top spot in the group with Israel second.
