Hapoel Holon returned today (Friday) from the national teams' backlog with a nice home victory at Hichal Toto, 77:99 over Hapoel Haifa, thanks to a wonderful game by Joe Ragland, who led the list of scorers for the host team with 21 points and 15 assists.
About a month and a half ago, Hapoel Haifa came to the Hall in Holon as part of the quarter-finals of the State Cup and surprised the champion at home with one of its biggest victories of the season.
A month and a half have passed since then and the Reds are stuck at the bottom and recorded their eighth loss in a row today in all competitions.
Before the match, Joe Ragland and Chris Johnson received a shield of appreciation from the league on the occasion of reaching a thousand points in their careers in the Premier League.

On the floor, both teams returned from the break with missing rosters.
For the hosts, the sick Niv Mashgav and the injured Freddy Bourdion were absent from the match, while the Reds were missing the injured Ofek Avital and the suspended Kadeem Allen.
Unlike the two previous meetings this season between the teams, which ended with a difference of only one basket, this time the game was one-sided throughout most of its stages and was already decided during the second quarter, when the difference climbed to 20 points.
Alongside Ragland, Chris Johnson and Shawn Dawson stood out and the three led the champion to a comfortable home victory.
Justin Tillman with 20 points was the bright spot on the losing side.
