Hapoel Tel Aviv secured a spot in the Winner Cup final by defeating Ironi Ness Ziona 79-76. The game marked the best performance to date for Hapoel Tel Aviv guard Eugene German, who scored 17 points, including five three-pointers, along with four assists and a steal. The 28-year-old German recently signed a contract reportedly worth $750,000 per season, with the team holding a monthly option to release him starting in December. He is currently the team's third-string point guard, behind Vasilije Micić and Tomas Satoranský, and while Tyler Ennis recovers from injury. German had previously seen limited minutes in losses to Bayern Munich and Crvena Zvezda in the EuroLeague. In the win against Ness Ziona, he led the team in assists and was fourth in minutes played, setting a temporary personal scoring record for Hapoel Tel Aviv. Hapoel Tel Aviv is scheduled to play Valencia on Thursday and will begin their Israeli Premier League season on Sunday against Hapoel Be'er Sheva/Dimona.
