Valencia Basket added its second defeat in the
Turkish Airlines EuroLeague on the EA7 Emporio Armani Milan court for 83-52 in
a game that was dominated from start to finish by the Italian team. The taronja
team conceded too many second chances, had too much turnovers and had a
terrible day shooting, so the casualties were another element against them. The
known absences of Hermannsson and Jones. And the casualties that he already
found on Italian soil with a stomach virus that left Touré out of the game and
that reduced the health of Jovic who tried to help but could only play four
minutes. Mirotic boosted the local team in the first quarter to take the lead
and although Valencia Basket had a good end to the second quarter to reduce the
gap to ten points, Valencia Basket had no options after the break, with no
offensive clarity from any of its players.
