Hapoel Tel Aviv began their double week of EuroLeague play with an 81-80 road victory against Crvena Zvezda Belgrade. The Israeli team held a lead for most of the game, fending off multiple comeback attempts by the Serbian hosts.
Despite a strong defensive effort and controlling the game's tempo, Hapoel Tel Aviv faced challenges, particularly in the second quarter which was closely contested. Crvena Zvezda made a late push in the final quarter, but Hapoel's Vasilije Micić hit crucial shots to secure the win. Key players for Crvena Zvezda, Jordan Loyd and Jared Butler, were unable to overcome the team's numerous turnovers and missed open shots.
Serbian media outlets acknowledged Hapoel's deserved win, noting that while the team didn't play their best basketball, they capitalized on Crvena Zvezda's mistakes. Vasilije Micić, despite a poor shooting night initially, made two significant three-pointers late in the game, which Serbian press highlighted as the decisive factor. One report stated that Crvena Zvezda "handed Hapoel a victory on a platter."
