Hapoel Eilat broke a streak of three losses in all competitions and reached a positive balance (1: 2) in the second house in the European Cup after defeating the Polish Trepel Sopot 85:88 away.
When Ariel Beit Halachmi signed Brion Allen in the summer, everyone raised an eyebrow at how a player who failed in most of his teams lands in Eilat, but apparently the coach knows what he is doing.
Also in this game, Allen saved him and arranged for him a precious victory.
The Israeli representative was dominant from the start and already led by a double-digit lead at the start of the fourth quarter, but then allowed the Poles to erase all the difference and reach a tie in the closing seconds.
Alan squeezed a foul to 3 with one second left on the clock, calmed down on all three shots and set up the game.
Host Josh Sharma still had time to miss a free throw right on the buzzer.
