Hapoel Holon defeated Hapoel Gilboa / Galil 82:84 tonight (Sunday) after a drama and thanks to a borderline decision that gave Chris Johnson three free throws for 3.5 seconds on the clock.
The excellent forward has been accurate three times and ensured the victory and a perfect balance since the start of the season in all competitions.
Ronny Harrell who provided a formidable 29-point game, further missed the buzzer and missed an opportunity for a big surprise for the Northerners on one of the toughest pitches in the league.
Despite the loss, Guy Kaplan's team ends a tremendous week in terms of a victory over Maccabi Tel Aviv and dramatic losses to Zaragoza and Hapoel Holon Holdings.
