Asvel defeated Kosner Baskonia from the line of three (94-79)
The Asvel Villeurbanne has defeated the Baskonia by three shots this Friday, 94-79, in the Euroleague match, due to Baskonia's poor defense. The Vitorian team has not won since Velimir Perasovic has been on the bench.
Triples have helped the French team keep up with Baskonia's scoring pace after several good defenses, but mistakes in the outside shot have slowed Perasovic's scoring streak.
Defensive weakness has created many imbalances and the French team has gone 26-16 ahead.
Those of Toni Parker scored very easily and took advantage of the misguided Baskonia who has not found the hardness of the other matches. The Vitorians have worked their attacks better and pulled out free shots to put 49-39 at rest.
The Vitorian team improved after passing through the locker room, had more aim and energy, which allowed him to defend better, but errors and ball losses prevented him from getting fully into the game.
Baskonia tightened the score by six points, but Patty Mills' fifth triple buried the Basque team's options, 75-59.
A 6-0 partial for the French broke the match, 94-79.
