Antonio Blakeney was the standout player, scoring a career-high 35 points, including eight three-pointers out of nine attempts, coming off the bench to torment the Turkish defense. Elijah Bryant contributed a significant double-double with 16 points and 12 assists.

Anadolu Efes struggled to match Hapoel's pace and offensive options.
For Anadolu Efes, Jordan Loyd led the scoring with 19 points, but the efforts of Santi Yusta and Matthew Strazel were insufficient to prevent a heavy defeat. This win follows Hapoel's previous victories over Panathinaikos and Virtus Bologna, further cementing their position among Europe's elite. Hapoel's next challenge is an away game against Dubai on Friday as part of the EuroLeague's double-game week.
