Hapoel Holon secured their first victory in the Basketball Champions League (BCL) on Wednesday, narrowly defeating Spartak Subotica 86-84 in a dramatic contest. The win improves Holon's record to 2-0 in the competition.
The game was characterized by numerous free throws, with a total of 74 attempts from the line, and Spartak outshooting Holon by 20 attempts. Despite trailing for most of the game, Spartak mounted a late comeback. Holon had held a significant lead, including an eight-point advantage with just over three minutes remaining, which seemed to guarantee an easy win.
However, clutch baskets from Alan Omić and Igor Drobnjak narrowed the gap, and Spartak eventually closed to within a single point. A foul on Adama Sanogo sent him to the line for three free throws, which he converted. After a back-and-forth exchange, Lester Medford made two free throws with 11 seconds left, and Marko Jeremić hit a crucial three-pointer to make it 85-84.
Holon managed to retain possession and secure the win. Adama Sanogo was the standout performer for Holon, scoring 28 points, along with 4 rebounds and 4 assists, shooting efficiently from the field. Shahar Amir also contributed 15 points in a hard-fought effort. Holon's next BCL game is against Rasta Vechta in Germany.
