Evil Prometheus surrendered unconditionally to Hapoel Tel Aviv

Prometheus had to accept his third defeat in the last four European Cup games and the fourth in nine EuroCup games on Tuesday evening (December 20th).

The Patras team was defeated in Tofalos by Hapoel Tel Aviv (100-83), with Yannis Christopoulos seeing a poor two-pointer percentage, a poor three-pointer percentage, poor creation and little motivation from his athletes who at least collected the difference to the final.

Hapoel, meanwhile, improved to 5-4 and picked up Prometheus, with Jordan McRae leading the scoring and Danny Franco seeing the quality and depth of his roster make all the difference at every level

Prometheus was competitive in the first half but the third third was disappointing. Hapoel scored 36 points and never looked back, finishing with 31 assists to 12 turnovers and 53 2-pointers to 13 3-pointers.
