MADRID, 14 Mar. (EUROPA PRESS) –
Valencia Basket forgot their defeat this past Saturday in Badalona and took another direct duel this Monday in the upper area of the Endesa League, the one that measured BAXI Manresa at La Fonteta, whom they defeated 90-85 in a match matched and postponed from matchday 23 of the championship.
The Valencian team and the Manresa team played an entertaining match. The locals almost always had the best advantages, but they always found the response of the visitors, who lacked more nerve in the final stages.
Thus, the ‘taronjas’, who finished ahead after all the quarters, seemed to have a somewhat more placid ending when they went 85-78 with just over two minutes to go. However, Manresa reacted once again and tightened everything by getting 85-83, but Valencia became strong defensively and did not let a win escape that puts them 14-8, one less than their rival.
In the Valencian team, the Icelandic game director Martin Herrmansson stood out, author of 19 points and a PIR of 22, while in the Catalan team, the best, and of the game, was Chima Moneke, with 24 points and 8 rebounds for a PIR of 30. .
