Valencia Basket suffers to win in La Fonteta against Casademont Zaragoza (76-69)

12/11/2023

Valencia Basket overcame the difficulties and suffered greatly to add its seventh win in the Endesa League beating Casademont Zaragoza in La Fonteta by 76-69. He suffered from the problems of his point guards who played despite not being 100% after Harper's last-minute injury. They suffered in the first half in which they were almost always behind against a rival who punished every Taronja turnover. They suffered and gritted their teeth to raise the defensive bar in the third quarter and took the lead with points from Xabi López-Arostegui and Puerto. They suffered despite going nine up in the last quarter with the reaction of the Aragonese team and with the Fonteta on fire after an unsportsmanlike foul called on Xabi that Casademont Zaragoza barely took advantage and hit another blow to the game with a three-point basket from Jones. But it took more to knock down a rival who refused to let go of the game and who reduced the gap to four in the last minute but the connection between Jones and Davies ended up tipping the balance on the orange side
