23/11/2023

Valencia Basket was unable to end its negative streak in the Euroleague after losing to Panathinaikos Aktor Athens by 90-73 in a game in which it was always behind and was surpassed by the intensity of the home team and its lack of accuracy. Although the taronja squad tried to react with a good start to the fourth quarter, there was no room for a comeback. The Greek team began attacking the Taronja team from behind the line of three, scoring nine of the first thirteen triples they attempted and although they improved from behind and managed to reduce their disadvantage with a 0-9 run in the second quarter, Valencia Basket lacked find accuracy in the shooting to be able to go into halftime losing by less than the 14 points they went into halftime with. Another Greek run after the break made the local advantage grow to over twenty points but Valencia Basket changed the defensive approach, scoring from the free throw and reduced it to nine with five minutes remaining but Panathinaikos' important men closed the game with local triumph.
