"Nothing was as we expected, and after we conceded the goal, we started playing. That’s the message we’re leaving with: to know how to keep going," said Coach Zarko Lazetic.

Head Coach Dimitrios Itoudis’s team has made quite the splash ahead of what will be its debut season in the continent’s top competition.

“I think in the upcoming season we focus on three main elements: growth, stability, and purpose,” Motiejunas began.

Hapoel Tel Aviv continues to strengthen its roster with star players, aiming to conquer the country and potentially make a historic run in Europe.

The two basketball teams representing Tel Aviv have plenty of off-court activity.

Both Maccabi Tel Aviv and Hapoel Tel Aviv will take part in Europe’s top basketball competition – a milestone moment for the country’s hoops scene.

“Jerusalem was the better team,” Dimitrios Itoudis said. “We won three quarters, but the second quarter was a disaster with bad shots, and we gave up 29 points."

Marcus Foster, Timor, and Blakeney closed the gap in the final frame to tie the game up at 82-82 with just under two minutes remaining in regulation time.

"This is a great, historic moment for the team and for Israeli sports in general, especially during these difficult times," said Maya Solomou, the Greek ambassador to Israel.
