- Hamburg’s slide continued with a 10th EuroCup loss and a 19th straight game without a win this season, while some outlets count 24 defeats in a row across seasons.
- Zacharie Perrin and Devon Daniels scored 16 points each for Hamburg, and Martin Breunig briefly narrowed the gap to 53–57 with a third‑quarter three.
- The visitors’ three‑point shooting faltered at roughly 16 percent (reported as 3-of-19), compared with about 36 percent for Jerusalem.
