Summary of the loss of Hapoel Tel Aviv 94:89 to Besiktas in the Eurocup quarterfinals/Sport1
One thing was clear to the people of Hapoel Tel Aviv after the painful elimination from the Eurocup on Wednesday: one must not sink into depression.
Tonight (Saturday) at the Arena, the runner-up declared once again and in a resounding way about her intentions in the local factories, when she dismantled Hapoel Jerusalem 64:91.
On the other hand, the crisis of the cup holder intensified with a fourth consecutive loss and eighth in the last 11 games in all formats.
After a tight first half in which Dusty Hanas stood out for Hapoel Tel Aviv, the guest went on a 4:22 run in the third quarter and the one who led it was Bar Timur, who continued his wonderful season personally with a performance of 21 points tonight.
Danny Franco's guards missed Jacob Brown who will be out for six weeks.
On the other side, Hapoel Jerusalem did not keep up, received a flood of points and suffered a shooting night that ended with 4 of 23 from outside the arc, with the entire offensive aspect not functioning in the absence of Speedy Smith who was rested.
The Reds from the capital will need to recover urgently, as on Tuesday they meet Turkish side Karsijaka for an away match in Bosnia, which will determine who advances to the quarter-finals of the Champions League.
Before the game, a ceremony was held in memory of Avi Harel, the former chairman of Hapoel Jerusalem and father of Guy Harel, who served as the club's CEO until recently.
In the name of Avi Harel, a social award will be given out once a year.
