MADRID, 5 Nov. (EUROPA PRESS) –
Gran Canaria beat Monbus Obradoiro (58-85) this Saturday on matchday seven of LaLiga Santander and got back on the winning path just like UCAM Murcia did, who beat Joventut (88-76) to get hooked on the high side.
The Canarian team left behind the defeat last week in the derby with a beating of the Galician team. John Shurna, with 18 points, 9 rebounds and a PIR of 25, was the best in the island team in Fontes do Sar. Balcerowski added another 19 points to the serious performance of a ‘Granca’ who is in the wake of the leaders with 5-2.
In addition, Ilimane Diop (17 points and 6 rebounds) left a serious match to help UCAM Murcia overcome the last setback in Girona. ‘La Penya’, who was seeking the same goal of getting into the ‘Top 8’, was held by Ante Tomic (26 points), but Diop was joined by Jordan Davis (18 points) to put the Murcians 4-3.
On the other hand, the day left another step forward for Carplus Fuenlabrada this Saturday with their victory (101-97) over BAXI Manresa, a direct duel that leaves the Catalans in relegation positions. The men from Madrid (3-4) made use of an outstanding third quarter to escape from the red zone, with the performances of Ristic (25 PIR), Novak (26) and Marc García (24).
