The red three-pointers did not enter the net, meanwhile Karsiyaka is shooting in bunches from outside the arc. And when he does not go from the outside, Hapoel entered the paint when Jacorey Williams does an excellent job off the bench with baskets under the basket. The Turks went on their own run and keeps scoring from outside the arc and at the end of the quarter - 30:19 to Karsiyaka.
2nd Quarter

Karsiyaka did not stop outside the arc, but the Jerusalem threes also finally started to come in with Speedy Smith who also scores in transition and sends the Turks to a timeout. Vernon Curry came back well from the timeout with a lot of sharpness under the basket and Karsiyka managed to regain the advantage. Hapoel refused to let this happen and led by Speedy Smith who played an excellent quarter reduced the difference to only 2 points. Or Cornelius put pressure on the ball carriers from his side and took the Turks out of the offensive flow, but Hapoel was unable to turn the score around, and at the end of the half, 47:46 for Karsiyaka.\
Speedy. Fantastic 2nd Quarter
3rd Quarter
The Reds opened the third quarter with two attempts out of three and two fouls and Karsiyaka took advantage of the fouls to increase the advantage. Zach Hankins came in for Jacorey Williams who, although he scored under the basket, committed his third foul in the first minutes of the quarter. Hankins just came in and already scored an and-one on Vernon Curry when he went up for a double-double just midway through the third quarter. Chris Johnson also excelled on both ends of the court with pressing defense, rebounding all over the court and excellent cuts to the rim and sent Krasiyaka down for a timeout, with the latter trailing by only a point. Coming out of the timeout, Johnson also took care of two points immediately and gave the Jerusalemites their first lead of the game. The Turks came back and went back to the lead of two positions, but a three-pointer by Oz Blayzer reduced the difference to 68:65 for Karsiyaka.
Jacorey. Do or die
4th Quarter
The Turkish team went out for the last ten minutes like the muzzle of a cannon with varied baskets, inside the paint and outside the arc, with the worker struggling to get into its offensive flow. Zach Hankins again went up the court with a basket move and a foul but McCullum on the side of Krasiyaka helped increase the lead to double digits. Khadeen Carrington hit a three-meter shot from outside the arc to keep Hapoel in the game. McCollum and Carrington exchanged shots between them and Krasiyaka remained on a double-digit lead. Hapoel was completely out of its offensive flow and had trouble finding the ring when at the end of the game, 98:87 to the Turks.
