improved their feelings with the support of La Fonteta, growing from the energy
in defense but could not knock down the hottest team in the Endesa League,
Cazoo Baskonia, by 81-85 in a game in which they entered tied for the last two
minutes and did not take profit of the possession that the game could have
given the taronja squad the option to win the game. The difference in the accuracy
of the three-point shots (6 of 22 for the Taronja team versus 14 of 36 for the
Vitoria team) and Marinkovic's score in the second half tipped the balance in
favor of the Basque team. Rivero's 25 points and 6 rebounds or Chris Jones (16
points, 9 assists and 3 steals) were worth nothing.
