MADRID, 16 Feb. (EUROPA PRESS) –
Hereda San Pablo Burgos put an end to its losing streak in the Endesa League with a triumph of caste and pride (104-97) against Surne Bilbao with two extensions included that give life to its fight to abandon the competition’s red lantern , while Unicaja and Coosur Betis also won this Wednesday in different games postponed at the time due to coronavirus infections.
The team from Burgos ended this Wednesday with six consecutive defeats in the domestic tournament based on triples in a match finale not suitable for the faint of heart. The team led by Paco Olmos, who lost by 17 points, was practically dead halfway through the first overtime, but woke up at the buzzer with a shot by Marc García of more than eight metres.
Surne Bilbao was knocked out and nerves took over a team that continued to suffer from the perimeter. First it was Dani Díez and then Tarik Phillip who sentenced the Basque team, who finished the game without Ángel Delgado after reacting to an opponent after a foul. The Basques, despite the defeat, will remain in the middle of the table.
For its part, Unicaja de Málaga is already feeling the ‘Ibon Navarro effect’ after the comfortable victory achieved this Wednesday against Urbas Fuenlabrada (53-73) in a match where Dejan Kravic stood out with a PIR of 20 points. The top scorer for the Andalusians was the American Matt Mooney with 16 points.
In addition, Coosur Betis achieved a vital victory in their quest to escape relegation in a direct duel against Monbus Obradoiro (86-93) after sentencing the match in extra time. The trio formed by Anzejs Paseknics (29 PIR), Shannon Evans (27) and Travis Leslie (21) was lethal for the Galicians, who remain sixteenth with a margin victory over their executioner this Wednesday.
