Hapoel Holon tonight (Saturday) defeated Bnei Herzliya 82:91 in the last game of the two in the second round and secured its place in the first trio in the table for the top house and more home games than away games.
Holon is at the beginning of a critical week that will continue with the opening of the Champions League quarter-final series against Strasbourg and it was important for it to return to the winning track after the dramatic loss to Hapoel Jerusalem last Thursday.
Adam Smith, Guy Goodes' man recently, led the scoring list again, and Haydn Dalton, who rarely played, made the difference from the bench.
Herzliya for its part was stopped after four consecutive victories and it will reach the top house from fourth place.
Holon achieved the victory despite the alarming injury of Chris Johnson during the third quarter.
The excellent forward collided with Andy Van Wallit and there is a fear of a concussion that could cause him to miss the opening of the series against Strasbourg.
