Dan Oturu on the alley-oop! Motorola Magic Moment
London struggled from beyond the three-point line, making only 4 of its 26 attempts from beyond the arc (15.4%). Hapoel did much better even though it didn't excel from downtown, burying 11 of 37 attempts (29.7%). Both teams missed a lot of shots and both grabbed 45 rebounds. In a battle of newcomers, many mistakes were made but Hapoel managed to minimize the turnovers and shoot the ball better and that led to an important home victory.
