Five year pro Ron Lewis & Hapoel Holon participated in the 2011 Israeli National Cup from October 9 through October 13. Lewis has recently been very successful in European Cup competitions. He won the 2010 Czech Cup Championship with Nymburk (Czech Republic) & the 2011 Belgian Cup title as a member of Dexia Mons (Belgium) last season.

Here is a snippet from wiki on Israel's Cup Tournament

The Basketball League Cup is a pre-season basketball tournament held Israel since 2006. It is held in Malha Arena, Jerusalem, on the week before the start of the League season. It is currently sponsored by Pais Lotto and therefore officially known as the Chance Cup (link)

2011 Israeli National Cup - Holon had a very good showing at the Chance Cup in Jerusalem. They made a tremendous statement in the Cup Quarterfinals with a dominating 34 point win over Gilboa/Galil (101-67). Holon ran into an equally game Maccabi Rishon team in the Semi-final. It was a back & fourth contest, but Hapoel eventually out-lasted Rishon in overtime by a score of 84-81. Ron Lewis was in top form for both games. He scored 20 points in the quarterfinals and dropped 24 (which included six threes!) Rishon in the Semis.

Finals - Hapoel Holon advanced to the Cup Finals against the reigning Israeli Champions, powerhouse Maccabi Tel-Aviv. So just one game stood in the way of Ron Lewis winning his third straight National Cup Tournament. And capturing this one might have ranked at the top due to Holon's underdog status against a team like Maccabi T.A. Hapoel exerted a significant amount of effort to challenge the tourney favorites, but Maccabi would come out with the victory in what was a competitive 78-74 Cup Finals.
