Holon wants to finish the house in the first place and go directly to the next level will have to now win the next two games in front of Drosfkh and Brindisi in Holon.
It was a postponed game after at the original time, the match was postponed due to the Corona problem at the Turkish team.
The result tonight is a continuation of the retreat of the Purples, who, as we remember, started the European season with 0: 2 and now go down to the balance with 2: 2.
The opening did not mark the following.
Holon provided a good first quarter during which it led 11:20.
The Turkish team got back to business a lot thanks to 38-year-old Sinan Goller when near the break there was a sharp verbal confrontation during a timeout between coach Maurizio Buscalia and Michael Kaiser, who was eventually left on the bench but returned to play in the second half.
Holon lost the game in the third quarter and early fourth when Joe Ragland was sent off (technical foul and unsportsmanlike offense) and on the other hand, Isaiah Pineiro was excellent (25 points, one miss from the field).
Six and a half minutes to go, the board showed 60:79 to the locals.
Although Holon managed to come back to 79:84 half a minute before the end, it was too late.
Chris Johnson excelled with 25 points and eight rebounds.
