Incomplete comeback against Crvena Zvezda Meridianbet Belgrade (75-77)

06/01/2023

Valencia Basket had a long three-point shoot from Harper to win a game in which they almost always trailed behind against Crvena Zvezda Meridianbet Belgrade by 75-77 in a game in which they could not take advantage of any of their options to complete the comeback. The Taronja team trailed during the first half due to the fine-tuned Serbian offense personified fundamentally in Petrusev, although the spark provided by Harper and Jasiel Rivero did not allow the gap to rise too much and they arrived with a deficit of five points at half-time. The Taronja defense improved after the break but the accuracy of the visitors' three-pointer did not allow Valencia Basket to complete the comeback in the third quarter and despite closing their hoop for several minutes in the last quarter, the Taronja team's three-pointers did not go in and Petrusev stretched the visitor's gap to nine three minutes from the end. The taronja team took pride to return to the game with a 8-0 run and Jones appeared at the end to keep the options alive, but the final shot could not complete the comeback either
