Hapoel Holon returned to the winning track this evening (Saturday) after beating Hapoel Gilboa/Galil 89:96 at Hichal Toto thanks to a wonderful game by Chris Johnson who led the list of champion scorers with 24 points.
Four days after the painful loss to French Strasbourg as part of the FIBA Champions League, Guy Goodes' apprentices returned to the local arena, enjoying a successful shooting night and high percentages from all ranges, on the way to another home victory against the leader of the table, which on the other hand continued to sink with an 11 league loss in a row and remained complicated Last in the table.
The players of Ariel Beit Lahemi started the game well and took an early lead in the first quarter, but a wonderful second quarter by the host team, which they won 14:28 thanks to wonderful minutes by Hayden Dalton and Chris Johnson, turned the result around and gave the champion a promising double-digit lead.
Tony Carr and Peyton Willis came close to completing a turnaround in the fourth quarter but to no avail.
After the match, the Purples will begin preparations for the European arena, when on Wednesday they will host Hapoel Jerusalem at the Toto Hall for an intriguing Israeli encounter as part of the second match in the top 16 stage of the FIBA Champions League.
