Kosner Baskonia has today maintained the hardness of the Asisa Joventut and won 85-71 the first quarter-final match of the Endesa League with a 21-5 partial inthe final leg of the match .
Although it has been a coral victory, thecontribution of Eugene Omoruyi and Matteo Spagnolo has been crucial to overcoming Penya's defense.
The match began with anintense pace , but with little success from both teams, with Cameron Hunt being the best of the Catalans, and Mamadi Diakit and Matteo Spagnolo improving the local team.
Equality has been constant, despite everything. In a tight first quarter, the competition has been fierce, and the defense has imposed itself on the attack. The fourth has ended with a tie of 18.
Three consecutive triples of the Vitoriansopened the first gap in the match at the beginning of the second quarter, but the Catalan defense was still very uncomfortable and Ricky Rubio has kept his team.
Defensive pressure has continued on both sides, and temperatures have risen in the standsasthe referees have made some decisions that Vitoria's supporters have not liked.
A Simon Birganger basket tightened the contest again for the second half, 38-37, in a second quarter in which Italian Matteo Spagnolo shone.
The 1-3-1 defense put forward by Dani Miret has caught the Baskonia in the trap, and the Joventut has taken the lead on the scoreboard, yet Ricky Rubio's third foul and Penya's bonus have given the Galbiati a better chance of regaining the\ u00A0initiative of a very physical match.
Eugene Omoruyi set out to beat his team and face the hardness of the match, as the Joventut jumped onto the court ahead in the last quarter, 59-60, after Ludde Hakanson took over from Ricky and scored two consecutive triples.
At theend Tim Luwawu-Cabarrot appeared after being closely watched throughout the game to give a respite to a Baskonia who has had more energy than his opponent.
The Vitorian team has given more speed to the meeting to open the gap, and a spectacular matte by Eugene Omoruyi has given the Baskonists a push and a 21-5 partial to impose themselves in the first quarter-final match.
