Before the game began , the Baskonist team, led by Captain Tadas Sedekerskis, offered the King's Cup to fans from the middle of the court.
Baskonia has paid for the Cup hangover since the first quarter . The Valencia Basket has come out much better in the game, putting a partial of 0-7 to the Alaveses in the first few minutes. In addition, Howard and Radzevicius have scored two faults very quickly.
Paolo Galbiati's players failed to change the dynamics of the match inthe second quarter. Baskonia has shown little intensity in defense and has been blunt in attack. On the contrary, the Valencian team has continued to do its thing by puncturing the Baskonia hoop over and over again in the face of the weak Alavés defense.
Back inthe locker room, the script of the meeting has not changed and those of Pedro Martinez have continued to command the match in the face of the powerlessness of the Vitorian ensemble. Montero, Reuvers and Key have continued to dig the Baskonia hoop, supported by Costello and Moore. The Galbiati may have raised their intensity a little and fought more, but the Taronjas have still reached the last quarter (58-93).
The last quarter has only served to confirm the victory of Valencia, so the end of the match has become a mere formality. Galbiati's team has tried to make up the marker, but has barely succeeded (79-108.)
