\nThe reds led 22\u201319 at the end of the first quarter, thanks to a 3-pointer by Vasilije Mici\u0107, but Xavi Pascual\u2019s squad went on an 18\u20132 run to take a 37\u201324 lead midway through the second quarter. Hapoel managed to reduce the deficit to 45\u201340 by halftime, with a basket from Tai Odiase, however, Dubai extended its lead to as many as 16 points during the third quarter and finished the period with a 29\u201320 advantage, leading 74\u201360 following a basket by Elie Okobo. From there Dimitrios Itoudis\u2019s team was unable to mount a comeback in the fourth quarter as Dubai took the win.<\/p>\n

Mici\u0107 led Hapoel with 15 points, Dan Oturu scored 14 points while Antonio Blakeney and Ish Wainright added 11 points each in the loss. Filip Petru\u0161ev was outstanding for the hosts scoring 20 points, Elie Okobo added 18 points, Dwayne Bacon scored 17 as McKinley Wright contributed 12 in the victory.

\nHead coach Dimitris Itoudis opened his postgame press conference by addressing the Satoransky injury, \u201cThe most important thing right now is Tomas\u2019 health. I\u2019m praying that he is feeling well and that it\u2019s nothing serious. I can share the positive news that, thankfully, he is conscious and responsive.\u201d<\/p>\n

Regarding his team\u2019s performance on the court, the Greek coach acknowledged their mistakes and highlighted the weaknesses that ultimately decided the game, \u201cCongratulations to Dubai on the victory. We failed to get to the free-throw line, while on the other end we simply couldn\u2019t contain their guards, who drew 17 free-throw attempts. We will have to find more effective offensive solutions and better ways to generate points going forward.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m praying for the well-being of my dear friend Satoransky,\u201d said Ish Wainright, who also reflected on the team\u2019s disappointing performance, \u201cWe have to learn from tonight, especially when it comes to our defense, which simply wasn\u2019t good enough. Things didn\u2019t go according to plan offensively either, and we struggled to put the ball in the basket.\u201d<\/p>\n

Zach LeDay also joined in the well-wishes, \u201cHealth comes first. Prayers for Satoransky.\u201d

\nHe then offered some insight into the circumstances behind the team’s drop in performance, \u201cWe arrived in Dubai after a long trip and another game that we had played not long ago. This loss hurts, but we will stayunited. We\u2019ll sit down, review the game footage, learn from our mistakes, and make sure we come back better and more prepared for the next game.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
