Apart from a couple of possessions in the opening moments of the game, and one possession in the third quarter, Hapoel was in front and in control the entire night. J'Covan Brown ran the offense with pace, and Hapoel never really had problems scoring.
"We locked down on couple of defensive possessions, that helped us get Jaka Blazic and D.J. Stewart out of their rhythm", Hapoel head coach Danny Franco said. "That helped us make a run."
Blazic had 15 points in the first half, but only 3 in the third quarter. And once Hapoel put together those few defensive stops, the visitors pulled away to a double-digit margin thanks to a balanced the offense that Cedevita could not slow down.
Five Hapoel players scored in double figures and three more scored at least 7 points. One of them was Brown who paired 8 points with 9 assists. And the only scorer below that mark was center Kyle Alexander who had 4 points but 9 rebounds and 3 blocks.

What an assist from Tasic! Magic Moment
"It is about ourselves and how we are coming to the games", Franco said, referencing Hapoel's problems of finding its home away from home in Belgrade, and not having the entire team together.
But he said the offense, which is clicking, and the balance the team has found, is a product of a chemistry that they have.
"They are the guys who like to play together", Franco pointed out. "We have good chemistry, we have good guys, we have a lot of commitment. That togetherness is helping us a lot to win games."
Hapoel now sits alone in the third place in Group A with a 7-2 record despite being on the road in six of those games and has already put itself in good position to return to the playoffs in its second season in the competition.
