What a drama.
A whistle for a technical foul by Samih Ardan less than a second to the end, which was translated by Tyros Maggie to a point from the line and Hapoel Holon defeated Karsiyaka 76:77 in Izmir.
The meaning of the victory - the Purples are close to advancing to the next stage in the FIBA Champions League (Final 8) when they are also with a great opportunity to finish the top 16 in first place.
Holon rose thanks to its third away win in the second home stage to a 1: 3 balance and continued its big season in Europe.
Also, Dadas and his trainees rewarded the Turks for the loss last week in Holon.
It was a game full of events.
Holon's good start with 7:16 was deleted by the host who went up to 24:40.
It would have looked on the way to a local victory probably after the dismissal of coach Stefanos Dadas in the 26th minute due to a second technical foul.
Holon then trailed 54:42.
Amit Sharaf moved to manage the game and Holon returned.
Towards the end she equalized and then a three by Guy Pnini raised the score to 71:74.
Two from Frederick Bourdieu's line, 6 seconds to go, raised Holon to 73:76.
Sack Henry missed from the line, took his own rebound and equalized with a three to 76:76 less than a second to the end, then came Arden's big mistake that stepped on the line while Holon's outfielder and Maggie completed the dramatic victory.
