Hapoel Tel Aviv secured a dramatic 81-80 road victory against Crvena Zvezda Belgrade in their first double week of the EuroLeague season. The Israeli team led for most of the game, fending off multiple comeback attempts by the Serbian hosts. Despite a poor shooting night from beyond the arc, Hapoel's Vasilije Micić hit two crucial three-pointers late in the game to seal the win.
Serbian media acknowledged Hapoel's deserved victory, noting that while the team didn't play exceptionally well, they capitalized on Crvena Zvezda's mistakes. Crvena Zvezda reportedly "gave the game on a platter," losing many turnovers and missing open shots. Key players for Crvena Zvezda, Jordan Nevel and Jared Butler, were unable to carry their team to victory.
Despite Hapoel's overall struggles, Micić's clutch performance, particularly his late threes after missing 10 of his first 11 attempts, was highlighted as the decisive factor. Serbian outlets noted that Micić "fixed it in time" and that his ability to score when it mattered made the difference. The win marks a positive start to Hapoel Tel Aviv's European campaign.
