Defeat vs. Dreamland Gran Canaria to close the first leg (79-86)

Valencia Basket finished the first leg of the Endesa League with a 79-86 defeat against Dreamland Gran Canaria in a tight and decided in the end game with the visitors' accuracy in which they missed the possibility of being seeded in the Copa del Rey draw. The taronja team started from behind punished by the turnovers caused by the energy of the Canarian team, but when they controlled that aspect they were effective in shooting to achieve a 17-0 run that put them ahead on the scoreboard until Slaughter's points balanced the game again and a good effort at the end of the first half allowed Valencia Basket to leave with a small advantage at halftime. The yellow team found the accuracy of its shooters to take the lead again in the third quarter and although Valencia Basket balanced it again, Pelos' three-pointers gave the visiting team a six-point lead entering the last five minutes. Another taronja squeeze tied the game entering the last two minutes but two buckets by the yellow team without a taronja reply and the final carousel of free throws ended up giving the victory to Dreamland Gran Canaria.
