07/03/2024

Valencia Basket fell at La Fonteta against FC Barcelona by 78-88 in a match in which, after a good first half, they found themselves behind on the scoreboard after a poor start in the third quarter and after overcoming Jones' points (15 points) and Ojeleye (19), conceded a partial at the beginning of the last quarter from which he could not get up even though he fought until the end to try to reduce his disadvantage. The Taronja team recovered from the incredible success from mid-distance at the start of the match by the Catalan team and its lack of effectiveness in the three-pointers with tremendous energy in defense and offensive rebound and by not committing losses to lead by five at halftime. The Barça team came out more aggressive after the intermission and caused Valencia Basket's errors to take the lead again, but Jones and Ojeleye held off the set to enter the last ten minutes with everything to be decided. In the first three minutes of the last act, the Barça offensive shot the visitors' advantage up to over ten and although Valencia Basket tried to hold on to the game from behind, Laprovittola and Vesely defended the visitors' advantage so that the victory went to the Catalan side.
