Hapoel Tel Aviv will look to bounce back from its first EuroCup loss when it hosts Dolomiti Energia Trento, which is looking to snap a 15-game losing streak dating back to last season. Hapoel (2-1) bested two other EuroCup newcomers, London Lions and Paris Basketball, in its first two games before falling last week at Turk Telekom Ankara. While swingman Jordan McRae leads the team in scoring, playmaker J’Covan Brown (14 ppg., 9.7 apg.) is the competition leader in assists and big man Chris Horton (9.7 rpg.) is tied for the EuroCup lead in rebounds.
Hapoel meets Trento in showdown of EuroCup’s top passing teams



Trento’s (0-3) last two defeats have been by 6 and 5 points, respectively. It led after three quarters in London and had a late rally against Paris that fell short. Trento has a balanced attack with five scorers averaging double figures in points led by Diego Flaccadori (15.5 ppg., 6 apg.) and Drew Crawford (14 ppg.).

Rebounding may have a major say in the outcome of this game; Trento is third in the EuroCup with 12.7 offensive rebounds per game, however, Hapoel has been a master at locking down the defensive glass and has outrebounded opponents by 6.7 boards per game. Trento, in contrast, has been outrebounded by 2 rebounds per game. Expect plenty of great ball movement since these two teams are first and joint-second in assists with Hapoel averaging 21 per game and Trento 20.3.
