In the bottom line, Hapoel Holon qualified for the second round of the Balkan League. Stefanos Dadas’ team defeated Hapoel Tel Aviv this afternoon (Friday) – 66:77, even though they were far from their normal ability this season, especially when it comes to shooting from outside the arc (5 of 21).
Hapoel Tel Aviv can feel a big miss, just as it was in the league game between the teams that ended in a purple victory, when it failed to take advantage of the mediocre ability from Holon, lost and did not qualify for the next stage in the Balkans.
