The draw that called for Hapoel Jerusalem two home games at the beginning of the European season was supposed to help the team from the capital register a good start in the FIBA ​​Champions League, but after the disappointment in the dramatic loss to Karshiaka last week, Oren Amiel and his players surrendered tonight (Wednesday) and once again got into trouble 73:68 against Spanish side Manresa. Although the loss does not leave the Jerusalemites without a chance to qualify for the top 16, it does reduce the possibility of doing so with a home advantage.

After showing offensive improvement in the last two games, the Reds (in the black tonight) went back to limping, closing the game with six penalty fouls in the last two minutes - making it impossible to win a close game.

Hapoel Jerusalem went up to a quick 2:10 in the opening, but then got stuck and failed to produce a run large enough to escape to the visiting team.

Only Jaylen Adams provided the goods in terms of points accumulation, but missed two critical shots from the penalty line in a minus 2 situation. The champions.

Jaylen Adams 24, Amit Gershon 7, Thon Maker (7 rebounds), Sean Kilpatrick and Itai Segev 6 each, Retin Obasohan, Kaiser Gates and Anthony Bennett 5 each, Adam Ariel and Willie Workman 2 each one.
