Hapoel Shlomo Tel Aviv closed Round 5 in the 2023-24 BKT EuroCup Regular Season with a convincing 90-98 road win over the London Lions at Copper Box Arena on Thursday night. The visitors used a 0-9 run in the first period to take the lead, and another 0-10 spark right after the intermission to amass a 22-point advantage, 39-61, that the hosts could never recover from.
Hapoel, which improved its record to 4-0, was led by Tomer Ginat, who scored 24 points, including 20 in the first half. He had 8 rebounds, too. Xavier Munford followed with the same number of points, 24, after draining 6 three-pointers, while Braian Angola and Jaylen Hoard netted 16 points apiece, J’Covan Brown chipped in 14 and Kyle Alexander contributed 13 boards. Matthew Morgan tallied 24 points to pace London, which slipped to 3-2. Connor Morgan scored 18, Gabe Olaseni 12 and Donte Grantham posted a 12-point, 12-rebound double-double in the losing effort.
Ginat set the tone for Hapoel
Even though the hosts showed great accuracy from deep in the early going, with Mo Soluade and Grantham sinking consecutive threes, Hapoel managed to build a 10-13 edge thanks to the superb contribution of Ginat, who provided 8 points to that lead without missing a shot. Olaseni put London ahead soon after, 14-13, but back-to-back treys by Angola and Munford quickly returned the advantage to the guests, 14-19. The run continued, as Ginat kept rocking inside and Alexander and Munford scored from the line to make it 16-25. London stopped that streak with a timeout that, although it didn’t reduce the margin, allowed the hosts to avoid a deeper hole at the end of the first period, 21-30.
London fought to stay into the game
Ginat made it a double-digit lead early in the second, 23-33, but the home team reacted in style through Nelson and Morgan, who combined to bring London within 28-33 after 13 minutes. The rally was stopped by Ginat, who scored Hapoel’s first 8 points in the quarter to restore a 28-38 margin, right after London head coach Petar Bozic was called for a technical foul. Angola then took over, scoring 5 points in a row to establish a 28-43 gap, pushing London to call for an urgent timeout. Taylor came to the rescue after it, providing some energy on both ends that reanimated his team and reduced the margin to 37-47. A late bucket by Munford closed the first half with Hapoel 12 points ahead, 39-51.

Facu Campazzo: 'Vinicius is awesome, he supports us'
A strong start allowed Hapoel to escape
The visitors started strong after the break, as they sparked a 0-10 run with a Munford triple before Angola later added another bomb of his own, good for a 39-61 margin. Conor Morgan dressed as London’s superhero and showed up to score 7 straight points and then dished Grantham for a triple that got the hosts within 49-61 midway through the third period. Brown cooled it down with 5 points in a row, and even though Matt Morgan stepped up to lead London’s offense, Hapoel recovered again a good scoring momentum thanks to Hoard, who helped the visitors take distance again, 59-77, at the end of the third period.
London fell short, Hapoel celebrated
Munford made the wounds get worse for the home side, 59-80, with his sixth trey of the night. London tried to fight back and locked in its defense to slow down Hapoel’s attack. As such, the hosts gave up just 5 points in a 4-minute span to get closer, 75-86, with 5 minutes to go. Conor Morgan made it a single-digit deficit right after a TV timeout, 77-86, but Brown came the rescue with a deep three to keep Hapoel calm, 77-89, with 2 minutes remaining. Morgan gave the hosts hope with a dunk to made it a 10-point deficit, right before a bunch of technical fouls were called on himself, Angola and Brown, who was fouled out. That didn’t disturb Hapoel, which first found Hoard to convert a couple of free throws and then Angola to cap a fastbreak with a slam that extended the margin to 79-93 entering the last minute, which ultimately sealed the outcome.
