MADRID, 12 Feb. (EUROPA PRESS) –
BAXI Manresa and Lenovo Tenerife added two victories this Saturday on matchday 22 of the Endesa League to reach the Copa del Rey next week with good feelings, against Casademont Zaragoza (94-73) and Joventut (58-74).
The Catalan team, once again led by Moneke (13 points, 8 rebounds and a PIR of 18), got even with their last victory against Bilbao. With a lethal second quarter (23-10), the Nou Congost enjoyed yet another great performance from their side.
Those of Pedro Martínez, who play the quarterfinals in Granada against Barça, added their 14th victory, the same as the culé team, although with four more games. For the hands it was another blow to their attempt to take off, irregular in results.
Meanwhile, the team from Tenerife authoritatively beat their rival in the Cup quarterfinals next Thursday. ‘La Penya’ suffered against Marcelino Huertas (22 points, 6 assists and a PIR of 29) and Giorgi Shermadini (20, 8 rebounds and 27) in Badalona. After the break, Lenovo Tenerife broke up the game.
In addition, Monbus Obradorio added an important seventh win, precisely equaling its rival MoraBanc Andorra in the table (81-73). The Galicians took a breather with the relegation zone thanks to Birutis (19 points and PIR of 29), Scrubb (22) and Hobbs (15), who put in a stellar performance.
