Hapoel Jerusalem has achieved a perfect record of four wins and zero losses in the Israeli Basketball Premier League for the first time since the 2020/21 season. The team secured their fourth consecutive victory by defeating Hapoel Eilat 88-78 at home in the Pais Arena in Jerusalem on Sunday. This marks the first time since the 2020/21 season that Hapoel Jerusalem has started the season with such a flawless record.
Despite not playing an impressive game, Jerusalem maintained control throughout the match, never trailing and securing a victory that was never in doubt. Although they relinquished a 14-point lead in the second quarter, which they had built early in the game with a 13-0 run, and experienced a scoring drought of over five minutes without a field goal, their defense was the key to their success. Following their previous defensive effort against Hapoel Tel Aviv, Jerusalem's strong defense once again contained their opponents, the visitors from the south, helping them maintain a slim lead.
In the decisive fourth quarter, Jerusalem increased their intensity, extending their lead to 16 points, a margin from which Eilat could not recover. The game concluded with an 88-78 score, marking Jerusalem's ninth consecutive win across all competitions.
