Hapoel Jerusalem secured a perfect record in the EuroCup on Wednesday evening, achieving what was likely their biggest win of the season with an 84-73 victory over Aris Thessaloniki. Following the game, coach Sasha Obradovic praised the team's collective effort and the supportive home crowd.

"At this stage of the season, the standings don't matter. We won, we struggled at times against a tough defense, but we also did a good job in the second half. That's why we won. It was a team win, not just Milton or Lofton," Obradovic stated. He emphasized the crowd's role, saying, "Especially with this crowd, it was easy."

Player Sheik Milton, who scored 19 points alongside Kenny Lofton Jr., echoed the sentiment of teamwork. "It was a team effort. We didn't give up when things weren't going our way, we didn't break when it was tough, we came through as a team," Milton said.

Lorenzo Brown, who contributed 11 points, highlighted the fans' impact. "Our energy came from the crowd. We fed off their cheers, it helped us a lot. We knew they would be aggressive to win, but our guys wanted it a bit more. It's a process. I arrived late and I'm getting used to the team, trying to understand everyone's role and mine," Brown explained.
