Defeat at the Gran Canaria Arena (89-83)

08/05/2022

Valencia Basket was unable to end its particular curse at the Gran Canaria Arena and fell again, in this case by 89-83 against Gran Canaria in a game in which the taronja squad recovered from a poor staging and an impressive first quarter by Shurna to tie the game and keep it balanced until the start of the third quarter. An offensive blackout in the last five minutes of that third act, where the yellow team punished the turnovers with a 14-0 run led by Khalifa Diop, put them down up to twenty points and the rest of the game was already in tow. The efforts of Dimitrijevic (12 points and 6 assists), Pradilla (10 points and 6 rebounds) and Hanlan (16 points) in that last period served to reduce to six points and give emotion to the final stretch of the match, but the men of Peñarroya could not disturb the local victory, which has not yielded at home against Valencia Basket since 2016.
