There is Europe in Holon in the second half of the season as well: Hapoel Holon defeated Besiktas 68:74 tonight (Wednesday) and advanced to the top 16 of the Champions League.
Like everything this season, this game also went close and difficult for Holon.
The Turks led in the opening, but the Purples answered with a good second quarter and went down to the break with an advantage.
Ex Brooklyn Nets Ronday Hollis Jefferson provided one of his best games this season (15 points) and left the visitors close until the final minutes.
Holon of the year finds the way to win every game.
This time it was Adam Smith whose voices of disappointment were heard following his performance in the first games.
The agile and talented guard scored exactly 20 points in the important game of the season and has already justified the contract he received.
Chris Johnson was good as usual and also Frederic Bourdieu and Rafi Manco brought the added value as usual.

Guy Goodes met an impressive task with three wins in the first three important games in a week (and also received cheers from the crowd), but he does not have much time to rest on his laurels.
On Saturday he has an away game against Hapoel Galil Elyon and already next Wednesday the opening game of the next stage, away against Glatsray.
