They gained confidence from that. When we came back and closed the gap we were unable to control the game as we missed a round and other possessions along with an and-one in transition which we can&#8217;t allow in this situation.

But then to start the second half we kind of let the game get away from us and we let them go on a run. We had to try and claw our way back and we were able to tie it up and take a lead, but we made too many mistakes defensively especially when they would throw the ball inside in the final quarter.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hapoel Holon fell to Rio Breogan 82-72 as their record dropped to 2-1 in Basketball Champions League play.
