One quarter was enough.
Hapoel Tel Aviv defeated Hapoel Haifa today (Sunday) 73:87 as part of the second round of the Premier League, at Romema Hall.
Hapoel Tel Aviv already knew at the beginning of the summer that going to a European framework and impressive victories in this division could cause it to have stress falls and less good performances in the local framework that would require it to rise, and today in Haifa it experienced this for the first time, and proved its character.
Danny Franco's men had trouble getting into a rhythm in the first half against Hapoel Haifa and even fell behind by six points at halftime, but a wonderful game by Xavier Manford and Jacob Brown, along with a one-sided third quarter of 14:29, lifted them up with an important away victory.

On the other hand, Sharon Drucker's apprentices came into the match after an away victory in the first round of the league against Hapoel Beer Sheva/Dimona, but also after a home loss to Turkish Gaziantep as part of the Eurocup, and wanted to return to winning at home and maintain a perfect balance in the league, but unfortunately they ran out of strength in the quarter. The third, what it cost them in the game.
The first half of the match was tight throughout, with the advantage changing hands a number of times.
Good minutes by Tomer Ginat gave the Reds from Tel Aviv an advantage, but the Haifaites went on a run and took the lead in the game and took a nine-point lead thanks to a wonderful game by Jaylen Jones.

Into the first half, the Tel Avivians came out of the locker room with completely different energies and led by Jacob Brown took control of the game with a one-sided third quarter and a 9:22 run on the way to a ten-point lead, which they maintained until the end.
