Hapoel Tel Aviv - Zalgiris

Hapoel is a more talented team in offense, although their defense is not at the highest level. However, in front of their own fans and a full arena, they can reach the sky. Žalgiris does not have a good record, even though they collected points against Peru. But the opponents were not the strongest lately, and they played the way they should have against all teams. But here, I think, it will be a different story. Žalgiris heavily relies on three-point shots, and if they are not falling, it will be very difficult for them to play against such a team, as their offensive arsenal is very wide. Against a team like this, they need to start with defense. But lately, there have been many doubts about Žalgiris' defense, as they allow their opponents to take and make a lot of shots, which is the main reason why their defensive rating has dropped. I believe the Jewish club will make a serious breakthrough, after which it will be very difficult for Žalgiris to recover. Sisco seems to be a little tired recently, which affects the team's effectiveness. However, if he remembers that he can also play defense, then he can turn the game around. But as I mentioned before, it is very difficult to shut down a team like this on defense.
