Hapoel Tel Aviv's two-game winning streak in the EuroLeague was halted on Thursday as they lost 93-82 to Valencia in Spain. The defeat, which occurred during the fourth round of the competition, drops Hapoel to a 2-2 record.
Despite an outstanding offensive performance from Hapoel's Antonio Blakeney, who scored a personal EuroLeague best of 30 points, the team struggled to match Valencia's pace. Valencia established an early double-digit lead in the first quarter with a barrage of three-pointers and maintained control for most of the game. Hapoel trailed by as many as 15 points in the first half before Blakeney led a comeback that narrowed the deficit to seven by halftime.
In the second half, Hapoel briefly closed the gap to just two points, but Valencia responded with a scoring run to regain a double-digit advantage. Despite further attempts by coach Dimitris Itoudis's team to rally in the final quarter, Valencia consistently answered every push. Blakeney continued to score effectively, setting a new personal record in the tournament, but lacked significant support from his teammates, preventing Hapoel from shifting the momentum.
Valencia celebrated their fourth consecutive victory in the EuroLeague, maintaining a perfect record. Hapoel Tel Aviv's loss followed impressive wins against Crvena Zvezda and Real Madrid.
