Hapoel Tel Aviv Stars Receive Gifts Ahead of Anadolu Efes Game

Hapoel Tel Aviv achieved one of their best performances of the season on Wednesday, defeating Anadolu Efes 118-88. Key players Antonio Blakeney, who scored 35 points, and Elijah Bryant, with 16 points and 12 assists, were instrumental in the victory, both earning a performance index rating of 35. It was revealed that both players received watches, a gift originally intended for them from the previous season. As they were not with the team at the end of last season, they visited a watch store and selected their new timepieces shortly before a busy week that includes another game against Dubai on Friday. The watches were a token of appreciation from the team's owner, Ofer Yanai, who distributed them to players at a celebratory dinner in late June to honor a successful European season that concluded with a playoff appearance. Yanai did not forget his two star players, who delivered an excellent game on the court.
