Hapoel Tel Aviv downed Hapoel Haifa 83-65 to sweep their quarterfinal series and move into the semifinals. Haifa took an early 19-17 lead after the opening ten minutes as Gur Lavie and Dakarai Tucker led the way but John Holland and Tyler Ennis caught fire for the hosts to head into halftime with a 55-36 lead. Bar Timor started to score while Holland and Ennis continued to find the basket as Marcus Bingham and Alex Hamilton tried to keep the Carmel reds in the game to no avail as Stefanos Dedas\u2019s team moved into the semifinals where they will play Kiryat Ata.

\nHolland scored 20 points, Ennis added 17 points and Timor chipped in with 10 points in the win. Lavie scored 17 points while Bingham and Hamilton each scored 14 points in the loss. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe proved that we deserved to advance,\u201d Hapoel Tel Aviv Head Coach Stefanos Dedas began. \u201cWe led by 20 points in every game and at certain points in this game we really played well on both sides of the ball. This is the playoffs and you need to win. The atmosphere was terrific and almost everyone who played contributed, not just in this game but the entire series.\u201d<\/p>\n

John Holland also spoke about the victory, \u201cEvery matchup against another team is really against ourselves. We advanced to the next stage so if I play, I\u2019ll play and if not I\u2019ll cheer on my teammates, it\u2019s all good. I want to be remembered as a champion.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
