Hapoel Holon records first win in Basketball Champions League, after defeating their opponent. Meanwhile, Maccabi Tel Aviv, Hapoel Jerusalem, and Hapoel Tel Aviv suffer losses in the European league. Maccabi Tel Aviv, under the guidance of head coach Oded Katash, lost to Zalgiris in an embarrassing defeat. Hapoel Jerusalem, led by their coach, lost to Cluj in a thrilling game. Hapoel Tel Aviv, under the leadership of coach Stefanos Dedas, lost to Trento in a closely contested match. Hapoel Holon, on the other hand, showed good performance and recorded an important win. The team's coach expressed satisfaction with the performance of his players. The win was crucial for the team, which faces many challenges this season. Maccabi Tel Aviv now sits with a 2-3 record in Euroleague play, with a double-week coming up against Fenerbahce and Real Madrid, both Final Four contenders. The yellow-and-blue is in trouble, with injuries to key players Tamir Blatt, Rokas Jokubaitis, and Wenyen Gabriel. After the loss to Zalgiris, Katash said Jokubaitis should be back soon and he in fact played in an Israeli league game, earning MVP honors – a positive sign going into such a critical week when a point guard is a necessity after the offense's struggles against Zalgiris.
