JERUSALEM, Sept. 19 (Xinhua) -- EuroCup side Hapoel Tel Aviv on Tuesday won the 2023 Tel Aviv Winner Tournament title after beating Champions League side Hapoel Jerusalem 89-87 in the all-Israeli final at the Shlomo Group Arena.

The first 20 minutes were extremely close, with the score tied at 26-26 in the first quarter and 46-46 at halftime.

With 2.3 seconds left in the third quarter, J'Covan Brown hit a three-pointer and added another point from the line to give Tel Aviv a 71-70 lead ahead of the decisive quarter.
