The home side put on a masterclass, sinking an astonishing 18 three-pointers against a helpless Efes squad to secure their sixth win of the EuroLeague campaign.

Hapoel already held a commanding 22-point cushion at halftime (63-41) and only widened the gap down the stretch to cruise to victory.

Efes continued their recent slump, effectively dismantled after just 20 minutes of play, leaving Pablo Laso searching for answers on how to spark a turnaround.

Antonio Blakeney delivered an unbelievable performance, finishing with 35 points on a blistering 8-of-9 shooting from beyond the arc. Dan Oturu contributed 20 points, while Elijah Bryant posted a double-double with 16 points and 12 assists. For the visitors, Jordan Loyd led the way with 19 points, and Santi Yusta added 15.

Hapoel now sits at a 6-2 record and will travel to face Dubai in the next round. Meanwhile, Anadolu Efes dropped to 3-5 and will host Panathinaikos in two days' time.
