AEK took a 42-31 lead into the halftime break as the host\u2019s held a huge advantage on the glass (27-18) and shooting percentage 43%-34%) after twenty minutes. Dusan Sakota, Giannoulis Karentzakis and Vince Hunter led the way for AEK with 8 points each, while J\u2019Covan Brown dropped 9 points for Jerusalem. <\/p>\n<p>However, the second half was an entirely different story as Oded Katash\u2019s Team came out flying and went on a 21-3 run to open the 3rd quarter thanks to Brown, Chris Johnson, Tamir Blatt and Da\u2019Sean Butler. Their strong run and gun play made all the difference as Jerusalem took a 58-55 lead after thirty minutes. The final frame saw the Reds move their lead up to 12 points, 71-59 with 5:01 left in the game, but AEK still had one run left in them to cut the advantage to 77-75 with 10 seconds left in the contest. But missed free throws by Xavier Ratha-Mayes and free throws made by Butler and Feldeine sealed the deal for Jerusalem to take home the hard earned W.<br \/>\n<div id=\"attachment_11870\" style=\"width: 1010px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/6F82DB69-C312-4FF4-A938-A0F9E727DF72.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11870\" src=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/6F82DB69-C312-4FF4-A938-A0F9E727DF72.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11870\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/6F82DB69-C312-4FF4-A938-A0F9E727DF72.jpeg 1000w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/6F82DB69-C312-4FF4-A938-A0F9E727DF72-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/6F82DB69-C312-4FF4-A938-A0F9E727DF72-768x512.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-11870\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Champions League<\/p><\/div><br \/>\n<strong>3-Pointers<\/strong><br \/>\n1) I\u2019m not quite sure what Oded Katash told the team at halftime, but whatever it was certainly worked and worked to a charm as Brown led the charge out of the gates to go on an unbelievable 21-3 run. <strong>The quartet of Brown, Johnson, Butler and Owens<\/strong> made minced meat out of AEK. Whether it was Brown\u2019s shooting or passing, Johnson\u2019s defense and key buckets, Butler\u2019s unbelievable Basketball IQ which at one point pushed his +\/- to +24 or Owen\u2019s dunks the Reds were unstoppable and primarily because of their hustle. But not only their hustle; they all looked out for one another and didn\u2019t get down when they had played a poor first half. At the post game press conference AEK Coach Luca Banchi kept blaming his players for their poor body language and attitude after the Jerusalem 21-3 run. He ripped into his players for their attitude to the press at his first Champions League Post game press conference. Not a good start for AEK.<br \/>\n<div id=\"attachment_11871\" style=\"width: 1010px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/E18BCA0C-3BFE-4134-8CF4-161D85F659DA.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11871\" src=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/E18BCA0C-3BFE-4134-8CF4-161D85F659DA.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11871\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/E18BCA0C-3BFE-4134-8CF4-161D85F659DA.jpeg 1000w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/E18BCA0C-3BFE-4134-8CF4-161D85F659DA-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/E18BCA0C-3BFE-4134-8CF4-161D85F659DA-768x512.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-11871\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Champions League<\/p><\/div><br \/>\n2) <strong>Chris Johnson<\/strong> provided the hustle as mentioned above and he spoke about what went on in the 2nd half, \u201cWe brought energy and we all locked in during the 3rd quarter. We all stayed together and played hard and I think that\u2019s the biggest thing. If everyone can lock in at one time on the court and play hard we\u2019ll be a tough team to beat. We had a chip on our shoulders in that 3rd quarter and made the run.\u201d And made a run they did. Perhaps a run that changed their Champions League season so early in the campaign. You can lose a competition in the first few games but you can\u2019t win it. By finding that will to win they catapulted their season off to a great start.<\/p>\n<p>3) <strong>Oded Katash<\/strong> agreed but also knows there\u2019s plenty of work to be down, \u201cIt\u2019s always nice to win especially the first game away against the defending champions. It says a lot. But that\u2019s about it. We need to take the W and be proud how we played in the second half but still have a lot of things to improve in our game.
