Hapoel returns to the league tonight after an away victory in Thessaloniki last Wednesday, where Jared Harper set a club record in Eurocup assists, dishing out 15. On the other side, Kiryat Ata comes in after two losses in their league opener against Hapoel Afula and Maccabi Ramat Gan, conceding over 84 points in both games. A standout player for the team from the Krayot is center Silvio De Sousa, who averaged 14 points and 13 rebounds per game in the first two rounds, including 7.5 offensive rebounds.
"One more story of love - before the lights go out." Hapoel fans during the last game in Malha.

Taste of Nostalgia: Although Hapoel hosted Ramat Gan in Malha this summer for a preparation game with fans, the last official game with fans in Malha was on May 30, 2014. Back then, the reigning champion Maccabi Haifa came for Game 4 of the semifinal series, which ended in a red victory that sent the series to a decisive Game 5, ultimately won by Haifa. Red fans knew in advance that this would be the last game for the cozy Malha before moving to the new and larger arena, and at the end of the game, they burst into a magnificent rendition of "Jerusalem of Gold," bidding farewell to their beloved venue. Now, the team's fans will enjoy a bit of nostalgia with the venue switch for tonight's game back to Malha.
