Lointek Gernika nearly lost 19 points to Pecs in Hungary, but barely managed to qualify

The Lointek Gernika Bizkaia today struggled to defend in Hungary, on the Lauber Dezso Sport Hall court in Pecs, the 19-point renthe earned against the NKA Universitas Pecs in Maloste, in the one-way match of the sixteen Women's Euro Final.

Lointek endured Pecs' initial thrust quite well, but went to the first break five points below the marker (21-16). The Hungarians, led by Czech star Reisingerova (8 points), put the Gernikans in trouble, who did not get ahead of the scoreboard in the entire first quarter.

In the second half, the Hungarian team has scored a partial of 20-13 to the Lointek (41-29). Lucas Fernández's girls have failed to stop the Reisingerova-Toro couple (14 and 9 points respectively) throughout the first half, and have also been pretty bad in attack, in 29% shots and making bad decisions. In the first half, Olaeta has been the most prominent player of the Bizkainos with 9 points.

After the break, the defensive bleeding and offensive errors have not stopped and all the alarms have been raised on the Biscayan team, with Pecs 19 points up on the scoreboard. Fortunately Jankovic has appeared to try to maintain the playoff (16 points), but Reisingerova, Toro and Dule have continued to crush the gernikarra hoop (59-44).

In the last quarter, the Lointek continued to suffer a lot, but managed to qualify when he lost 19 points thanks to a basket (78-61).
