Valencia Basket broke its good streak in the
Endesa League falling on the Herbalife Gran Canaria’s court by 92-86 and could
not break its particular curse with this court, although it will have one last
option to secure the home-court advantage in the Endesa League Playoffs if the
taronja squad beats Urbas Fuenlabrada on Saturday in the return of the fans to
La Fonteta in this competition. Valencia Basket dominated the game during the
first three quarters but the yellow team severely punished two offensive
disconnections. The first at the end of the second quarter significantly
reduced an advantage that had reached 14 points. The second at the start of the
last quarter was a 14-0 run that put the locals ahead, who certified the
victory by relying on Shurna and Beirán. Kalinic with 17 points and 5 rebounds
and Dubljevic with 11 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists were the most prominent
on the taronja side
