The streak in the Liga Endesa ends in Badalona (80-76)

Valencia Basket saw its winning streak in the Endesa League cut short on the Joventut Badalona’s court (80-76) when it fell to the accuracy of Thomas and Andrews and the push of the young players of the green-and-black team on an afternoon in which the taronja squad lacked accuracy in the 3-point shot at the key moment to attempt a comeback with its final push.The taronja team entered the game cold and was a little frozen with the injury to Chris Jones' left ankle when barely two minutes had passed. That, together with the local team's success in three-pointers, led Valencia Basket to be down twelve as soon as the second quarter began with a superlative Thomas, but he reacted with a run of 2-13 thanks to Reuvers and Harper and turned it around with another 0-9 run to end the first half and reach the break four up. Ojeleye contained the local reaction after the half-time but an offensive push by Busquets once again stretched the green and black lead and the 3-point accuracy of Thomas and Andrews placed the taronja squad fourteen points down with six minutes left. The taronja team raised the defensive bar and cut back to within four, but could not find the success to complete their reaction.
