MADRID, 2 Dic. (EUROPA PRESS) –
Unicaja beat BAXI Manresa (91-77) this Saturday on matchday 12 of the Endesa League to remain unstoppable with its eighth consecutive victory, while UCAM Murcia lost (82-76) to Casademont Zaragoza.
Ibon Navarro's team maintains its strong march at the top, chasing the lead of Real Madrid, with a streak that was extended by Dylan Osetkowski. The Californian power forward scored 25 points, with 6 of 9 in triples, 8 rebounds and a PIR of 31.
Those from Málaga dominated from start to finish, making it difficult for those from Manresa to defend the 'Top 8'. Meanwhile, in that upper area, a UCAM that fell on the morning party, on the day they remembered the Cup champions of 1983 and 1990, stopped its great moment.
Bell-Haynes (17 points and 9 assists) and Mitchell Watt (18) led the fourth victory for a Zaragoza team that is moving away from the bottom zone. In addition, on Saturday he left Lenovo Tenrife's defeat against a Monbus Obradoiro that won for the first time in its history in La Laguna.
The Galician team won 87-92 to stay one win away from the Copa del Rey zone, thanks to an inspired Thomas Scrubb (26 points and 31 PIR). The second half was complicated for a black and white team that did not find consistency at the top, as it had been doing in recent great seasons.
In addition, Bàsquet Girona beat MoraBanc Andorra in overtime (107-104). The Catalan team, sixth in the table with seven wins, signed a heart-stopping victory in which they established new ACB records in scoring and triples (17). Ike Iroegbu (30 points) experienced a giant fight with Jean Montero (26).
