Hapoel Jerusalem Edged Burgos 85:84 in EuroCup Drama

Hapoel Jerusalem kept its perfect record in the EuroCup on Wednesday evening, but this time it came much harder. Sasha Obradovic's Reds already led by a double-digit margin against Burgos in Spain, squandered the lead in the final quarter and fell behind in the last minute, before a crucial three-pointer by Shake Milton helped them squeeze out an 84:85 victory.

Above everyone else was Kenny Lofton Jr. with a stellar performance of 28 points, as the Jerusalem team completed their third consecutive win in the competition on their way to second place in Group A.

At the end of the match, Obradovic addressed the dramatic win and the second half in which Burgos managed to return to the game: "The plan was to win the match. In the second half we did not have our best game, they made changes on defense, but we found the way to win. It is not easy to play against this team, they are a team that opens the game and can hurt you from several positions, but in the end we knew how to win this."
