Hapoel Galil Alyon wanted to get a place in the second group stage of the Eurocup today (Wednesday) and join Hapoel Haifa, but the ex, Gabriel Chachashvili, had other plans. The Israeli and Amberg won 95:78 for the northerners, who will have to beat Chemnitz, which holds the same balance (2:3) in an all-or-nothing game.
The team from Kfar Bloom, still without the injured Roi Huber and Lotan Amsalem, were in the picture for three quarters – but the depth of Oren Amiel’s team made the difference in the end. And yet, as mentioned, a victory will advance Galil to the next round – maybe even from first place if Bamberg loses to Golden Eagle in Kosovo.
Hudson led Galil scorers with 18 points, Booker added 17 points, Washington contributed 13 points and Abu scored 12 points of his own. On the other hand, Chacha’s 16 points and 7 rebounds led the Germans to victory.
