Hapoel guaranteed itself a postseason home game

Hapoel Vegan Friendly Tel Aviv never seemed to hit top gear in its 76-87 win at Slask Wroclaw and the visitors were able to cruise through the contest as the Polish side fell apart in the closing stages, having battled hard for 35 minutes or so to stay in the game.
Slask looked capable of pulling off what would have been only its second EuroCup win of the season in 17 games, as it shot 7 of 14 from three-point range in the first half with Jakub Niziol nailing 3 of those efforts. However, the home side misfired heavily after the break, going 0 of 10 from beyond the arc while they also finished the match with 13 turnovers.
"In the first half, we played like a team and passed the ball," Slask head coach Ertugrul Erdogan commented. "But when you don’t play together you’re in trouble. We’re not a great team but when we play together we are a dangerous team,"
Hapoel ended on 7-of-17 shooting from three-point range, having racked up 22 assists to Slask’s 16. The visitors also had 3 turnovers fewer than the Polish team, making the most of their deeper roster to come out on top.
Having already secured a top-four finish in Group B and hence home-court advantage in the eighthfinals before it brushed Slask aside, Hapoel now has a chance to finish as the group’s runners-up – much to the delight of its head coach Danny Franco.
"We are having a great second round [of the regular season] in the EuroCup, our results are great and we are very happy with that,” he said. "We’ll keep on going as much as we can and keep on dreaming as long as we can."
