MADRID, 6 Abr. (EUROPA PRESS) –
UCAM Murcia won 75-82 on its visit to Joventut Badalona and Río Breogán defeated Zunder Palencia 73-65 in a vital duel for permanence, in matches corresponding to matchday 28 of the Endesa League, which this Saturday also saw the triumphs of Casademont Zaragoza and Surne Bilbao Basket, respectively, against Monbus Obradoiro (98-79) and Dreamland Gran Canaria (81-71).
At the Príncipe Felipe Pavilion, the visitors faded in the last quarter by a partial score of 30-7. With his 22 points and 30 rating credits, Dejan Kravic led Casademont; For Obradoiro, Thomas Scrubb scored 17 points. This harvest placed the Maño team with a balance of 11-17 and left ‘Obra’ in the relegation zone, with 7-21.
Breogán did come out from behind, now with a balance of 8-20 after beating Palencia thanks to a stretch also in the last quarter. The 13 points scored by Stefan Momirov and another 12 by Ben McLemore guided Lugo’s victory against a Palencia team that was still at the bottom, with a record of 5-23.
In the playoff area, UCAM (18-10) gained distance from Gran Canaria (17-11). And it did so following a comeback at the Olímpic de Badalona, where the locals had gained 10 points in the first period. After the break, the dynamic changed and then, in the final moments, a triple by Marko Todorovic was decisive.
In the fourth Saturday match, ‘Granca’ lost on their visit to Miribilla. The 21 points scored by Keith Hornsby put Bilbao’s victory on track, forged during the third period by virtue of a cumulative partial of 24-13. This healed Bilbao Basket’s wounds from their recent elimination in the FIBA Europe Cup semifinals.
