Hapoel Holon is close to being kicked out of the FIBA Champions League. Guy Goodes' team lost this evening (Wednesday) in France against Dijon 89:81 and remained without a win after three games in the top 16. The Purples, who reached the Final Four last season, are in a lot of trouble this time .
It was a big disintegration of Holon in the last quarter, which resulted in an unnecessary loss after already leading with a 14-point lead, even though the opponent appeared without the most important player in its squad, center David Holston.
For a long time to come, Holon will be concerned with how a game in complete control escapes in such a way, especially after they led in the first quarter of the year 32:46 and everything then looked promising.
Even in the third quarter, Holon, despite a mediocre ability, continued to lead with a double-digit lead.
Then came the last quarter in which center Jonathan Roussel, Holston's replacement, stepped up (despite an ankle injury).
On the other hand, Holon froze, made almost every possible mistake and closed seven minutes without a field goal.
Bottom line, the host made a big turnaround and won the last quarter 16:33, which determined an embarrassing loss.

Sean Dawson finished with 17 points for the Purples and Chris Johnson added 16 of his own.
The factory is going on a one-month break.
Upon return, Holon will play at the Arena against Hapoel Jerusalem.
A loss and she ends her journey in Europe this season.

Only four days after the home loss to Hapoel Holon, Danny Franco's apprentices returned to their home field and against the first-ranked team at home and one of the candidates to win the factory, they provided a record performance, in a game that was already decided in the first quarter.
