After reaching the Final Four of the Champions League last season, Hapoel Holon started tonight (Monday) on the right foot with a victory in Poland, 81:84 at the expense of the local Legia Warsaw at the end of a dramatic overtime.
Bottom line, Holon can be very pleased with the debut of new acquisition, Eric Green.
Holon had a lot of fluctuations in ability, maybe because it is the start of a season.
The Purples already had a 14-point lead in the first quarter, but were unable to maintain it when Davin Marble, who played two years ago in Maccabi Haifa (only 5 games), led the host to a 12-point lead, 7 minutes to the end (53:65).

From here until the end Legia scored only 3 points.
On the other hand, Holon, who recorded a run of 0:15, already took the lead, but in the end the game went to overtime (68:68).
Even in overtime it was difficult, but Holon managed to win 81:84.

Joe Ragland, fifth player last season in the Champions League, finished with a double-double of 10 points and 13 assists, including an important three-pointer in overtime.
Eric Green, after a long period of not playing, contributed far beyond expectations, when he finished with 19 points including 4 three-pointers.
