18/05/2024

Valencia Basket will need to win at the Palacio de los Deportes in Murcia on Wednesday at 8:30 p.m. to stay alive in the season after losing in the first game of their Endesa League quarterfinal series against UCAM Murcia for 86-96 in a game in which the taronja team was always behind from an initial 0-12 partial by the university team. Driven by the energy of La Fonteta, Valencia Basket pressed several times to recover and cut a deficit that reached 21 points in the second quarter when Jones and Ojeleye found some success. But he never managed to take the lead again, although in the final stretch it was Jovic who starred in a rush to get within three points, but the lack of outside success (6/29 in triples) came together in the decisive stretch with two triples in a row by Rodions Kurucs who prevented the local comeback and Radebaugh's points gave the final touch to the game.
