Hapoel Jerusalem Advances to Quarterfinals in Toto Cup
Hapoel Jerusalem secured a spot in the Toto Cup quarterfinals by defeating Hapoel Be'er Sheva 83-69. The Reds established early dominance in the paint, quickly building a double-digit lead. However, Lior Lubel of Be'er Sheva ignited a comeback in the first quarter, scoring 13 points including three three-pointers.
Despite Be'er Sheva's efforts, Jerusalem regained a double-digit advantage, reaching a peak of 11 points, largely due to turnovers by the visiting team. Hapoel Jerusalem maintained their lead through the final minutes, fending off Be'er Sheva's attempts to close the gap. Key players for Jerusalem included Kenny Boynton and Deon Thompson.
