Hapoel Tel Aviv tonight (Wednesday) was a step away from registering an impressive achievement in Spain, but unfortunately suffered a dramatic away loss 85:83 in Gran Canaria caused by an impressive victory basket by E.
G. Slaughter three seconds to the end, who reversed the result and gave the victory to a quality rival who is considered one of the top of the factory and a major candidate to win it.
The main story of the evening was the debut of the Reds' sparkling purchase - Chinano Onuaku, who, after a week of anticipation, played his first game in the Red uniform and in the Eurocup, but tonight the American center rarely played and made an impact and recorded a scoreless game in ten minutes on the floor.
The host, who on the eve of the round led the factory in average three-pointers per game and in average assists, proved why it is considered one of the best teams in the factory in the first half and took a 15-point lead, but the Reds, led by Xavier Manford, Jordan McRae and Jacob Brown, who were unstoppable, managed to turn the game around in the second half and transfer the advantage to the red side half a minute to the end.
Unfortunately for them, Slaughter's winning triple determined the outcome of the game.
After the match, the Reds will return to Israel and begin preparations for the league match against Hapoel Galil Alyon on Saturday night at the Shlomo Group Hall.
