So far this season in the league, Hapoel holds an 8-2 record, having narrowly beaten Bnei Herzliya 68-66 last round, while their Tel Aviv rivals defeated Holon 79-72, boosted by a strong contribution from their Israeli players who scored a combined 42 points. Since that game against Herzliya, Hapoel strengthened their roster by signing guard/forward Igor Khoulshev, who will debut tonight. Khoulshev has seven seasons of league experience, shining last year with Be’er Sheva by averaging 12.5 points in thirty games with 47.6% from three.
Teaming up again: Cornelius vs. Khoulshev last season
Hapoel and Maccabi Tel Aviv share a long history. While until the last decade Hapoel won only 14% of their regular-season meetings, in the last decade the dominance has shifted, with Hapoel winning 41% (13 of 31 games). From “Mama Brought the Cup” to Hirsch’s Cup last season, the two teams often meet in knockout games, having faced each other in the last two seasons’ Winner Cup finals and two State Cup finals - all of which Hapoel ended up winning.
