The streak ends on the Baxi Manresa’s court (98-96)

Valencia Basket saw its good streak in the Endesa League end falling at the Baxi Manresa’s court by 98-96 in a game in which the taronja squad got up several times to get back in, including an eleven-point comeback in the last quarter to tie the game with two minutes to play. In the final coin toss, a bucket by Robinson and a miss in Jones' shot that would have forced overtime leaves the balance at 19-12 with three games left. The taronja team started losing but Justin Anderson's entry into the game sparked the offensive to reach a tie at 28 at the end of the first quarter. We did not find the basket in the first five minutes of the second act, which meant a 12-0 run that kept Valencia Basket behind, although the appearance of Davies and Jones did not allow the disadvantage to grow any further and they were nine points down at the half-time. After the break, the taronja team found outside accuracy to get within three, but Badio and the second options that Robinson converted into baskets kept the local team ahead, which once again stretched the lead at the beginning of the last quarter with three-pointers from Steinbergs. We held on to the game with a 0-9 run to tie the game it but in the final stretch the victory remained in Manresa.
