The former Valencia star scored 7 points in the last 130 seconds. After three years wearing a Valencia Basket jersey, Chris Jones rode into town on Wednesday and stood tall at the end to lift his new team, Hapoel IBI Tel Aviv, to an impressive 93-100 road win. Hapoel never trailed, but Valencia was hot on its heels in the closing minutes.

The visitors led 77-91 when Valencia caught fire with consecutive three-pointers from Omari Moore, Kameron Taylor, Sergio De Larea and Moore again to get back in the game. Matt Costello went to the line with a chance to tie it with 2:31 remaining, but split his shots to cap a 13-0 run.

Then it was time for Jones to shine. He took a pass from Vasilije Micic and drained a three from the corner. Then Jones raced downcourt and intercepted a pass from Costello. Jones went on to score Hapoel’s next 4 points – with a layup and 2 free throws – to maintain a two-possession lead despite free throws by Moore.

Elijah Bryant making some noise early on. Puerto Saco back to Thompson. Thompson hangs it up for the French center and Neil Sarko says thank you very much. Wayne Wright will get it back to Uru. He’s drawn a big crowd. Waynewright offloads it and that a beauty of a buzzer meter. Lovely passing from Wayright here. try and take it past Moore. Moore sticking with him. Lovely move. A beautiful finish as well. How sweet was that from Vasilier Michich over to Jones in the corner. It’s Bryant. Bryant will send it back out. Nice movement around Wayne Wright to Jones to Meich who’s got a wide open look and says that’ll do it. That’ll do it. Beautiful passing and nobody anywhere near Meech when he took that one. Dare. Oh, hello. Somebody’s open. Taylor’s wide open. Taylor strings it. It’s a beauty from the one-time Malaga man. Back to Jones. Back on the floor. Malcolm sends it into the corner. Nice little move. Steps back. Takes it on. Strings it. Antonio Blakey. Now Mley all on his own. Corner three. shooting so well. Let’s see if that’ll carry on over here as Mley does indeed carry it on over. Well, if Atou doesn’t get you, Jonathan Mley will. Mley goes three for three inside. Thought he knocked down a triple earlier in the corner, but he had a foot on the line. That was a long two. And there’s the immediate response from Valencia. And they need a lot more of those. as Thompson moves up to four points. Here’s one of the key men. Omari Moore. Valencia with just a second triple of the game so far. That’s a lovely pass. What a pass from Jones. Straight into the flight path of Mley who moves up to eight points on Jones’s fourth assist of this first half. Taylor will send it back. Badadio. Bad’s got the separation. Will find Delare. Corner three. No. Offensive rebound. Yes. Man Costello. That is some shift from Mley who will sit down after that block. A Turu in Padio. Nice fake. Really nice fake. Just watched Elijah Bryant sail on by Blakeley. There’s Matt Costello swats that aside as well. Here goes Delorea. Lovely behind the back pass. Sark says thank you very much. Well, a real confident dish there from Sergio Dare. It was a beauty. Saco finishing the job. That’s going to be make sure that the rebound is secured. Mitzic still with it. Goes insideu been quiet tonight downu but he’ll take that bit of a bump there. Antonio blank what am I supposed to do has closed that gap at halftime to just two. At the midway point of this one it’s Valencia basket 47. Hapwell IBI Tel Aviv 49 for Hoel. It’s Jones and Brian and Misich as it was in the first half to start with Wayne Wright and of Turu. Here is Wayne Wright. All on his own. Nobody around. Thank you very much. Says I ish Wayright. Give me those all night long. Wayne Wright. It was well played there by Taylor making a nuisance of himself. Reavers point three. Bang. gone. See you later. Nate Revers having some fun. Three out of three from downtown, moving to 13 points in his second Euro League campaign. Could be heading for Rever’s really physical on him. Wouldn’t let him get the shot away. So, he has to send it back. Mitsic Mitsich will take a three on and drain it. Mitsic with a second triple moves to 13 points. Straight back down the other end though. Backing goes to Wayne Wright. Physical player. Wayne Wright. Lovely pass. Dan Ouru couldn’t miss. Vinci with the dish. Quto doesn’t fancy it either. Moore may have to take it on himself and does and it goes. That’s more like it from Omari. Moore. But can they stop Meitch? As Meitic is running the show at the moment for Hapoel Bryant. Bryant’s going to have a look. Bryant’s going to sink one as well. It’s another beauty from Elijah Bryant. Nice drive to the bucket and Moore will bank it in past Mley. Well, he’s there and yeah, really nicely nice move there by Hime Pradia. Mitsic Meic will feed instead. Everybody went to Mitsich and that left the paint wide open for Nat points and this is starting to look an insurmountable problem here for Valencia. They just can’t slow Hapwell’s offense down. They can’t get their own offense going. Good clean open look. They needed that. They needed it desperately. Nate Rever’s back on the floor for Valencia. Remember, he’s three for three from downtown tonight. Dare to Moore. Moore sends it into the corner. Taylor got to go. Does go now then. Backto back triples. Chewing the clock up, but he’s going to have to pull the trigger soon and does, but he won’t go. De Laarea will bring it away. Bonnie still on the floor at the other end. Moore will take an wide open three. Oh, hello. Back to Brian it goes. meetic. Where can he go? Will he take it himself? He will send it into the corner instead for Jones. And that’s a big triple against his former team. Chris Jones makes a big play, rushes straight back at the other end to pick off the pass. What hustle that from Jones for the game effectively and it won’t go. Brilliant collect there from Taylor. Taylor’s off to the races here. They need a score. They’re not going to get the score. And that was so cleverly played there by Otu who read it perfectly. Then Jones can basically twist the knife a little bit deeper. Could never get there, could they? They got close with those three triples. The desperation shot on the buzzer from Thompson. Sums up the night for Valencia basket. Close but never quite on terms. There was a moment there, but Valencia pulled to within a score, but that was as good as it got. Chris Jones comes back to hurt his former team. Pedro Martinez can stare at backto- back Euro League defeats with trips to Monaco and Milan to come. As for Hapwell, well, their inaugural Euro League campaign continues to roll along here.
