10.30.2011 - Hapoel Holon 119 Bnei Hasharon 80 (Israeli League Regular Season)
- Ron Lewis: 27 points, 5 assists, 2 rebounds, 1 steal !

Hapoel Holon hosted Bnei Hasharon in round three Premier League play on October 30. Both teams came into the game with 1-1 records with the top storyline being the overseas debut of former Cleveland Cavaliers forward J.J. Hickson (current member of the Sacramento Kings) . Hickson arrived to Israel just a week before the game after agreeing to a deal with Hasharon that included an NBA out in the event of a lockout resolution. Unfortunately for Hickson, a well oiled machine in the form of Hapoel Holon was waiting for him & Hasharon in his first game in the Super League.

Hapoel dismantled Hasharon in the first half by a score of 65-32 (two 31 point quarters!) before eventually coasting to a 119-80 blowout victory. Buckeye guard Ron Lewis contributed 27 points, 5 assists to go with a game high 29 points from Bryant Dunston for Holon. Hapoel outrebounded their opponents 47-29..they had 98 total points after the third quarter..this was a true runaway. Hickson finished with 20 points in what would turn out to be his first & only game overseas before returning to the states.

Check out these clips of Holon vs Bnei Hasharon! There are some sick dunks by #4 Patrick Sullivan and a throwdown by Lewis at the 2:50 mark...and what a great atmosphere from the Holon fans!
