Hapoel Holon found itself trailing 56-41 after the third quarter of a game against a French opponent, following a significant scoring run by the visitors. The game began evenly, with the home team even taking a brief lead, boosted by strong play from Sanogo and newcomer guard Leicester Medford. Medford showed intensity on both ends of the court but also struggled with turnovers.
Holon entered the second quarter with the lead, but the momentum shifted dramatically. With approximately five minutes left in the first half, the French team embarked on an exceptional 25-5 run, concluding the quarter with a 33-9 advantage to establish a 20-point lead. The visitors intensified their defense, forcing missed shots, while their offense proved accurate from all ranges.
During the second quarter, Andrew Thewell made an earlier-than-expected return from a thigh tear, playing despite not being slated to see minutes. The club apparently decided to take a risk, and Thewell appeared unhindered on the court.
