Antonio Blakeney erupted for 35 points on 22 minutes of work as Hapoel IBI Tel Aviv dismantled Anadolu Efes Istanbul 118–88 at home, a 30-point margin that left little room for argument about who owned the floor. The American's efficiency was surgical. He connected on 12 of 14 attempts from the field, including 8 of 9 from three-point range, while adding 3 rebounds and a free throw line composure of 3 for 4. Three turnovers in that span suggested some ball-handling pressure, but the shooting numbers obliterated any concern — a clinic in spacing and trigger discipline. Blakeney's performance arrived in a game where Hapoel's depth and sharpness simply outmatched Istanbul's resistance. The 30-point final margin tells the story of a home side that seized control early and never loosened its grip. For Efes, the defensive intensity required to contain that kind of perimeter accuracy never materialized.
