Victory in Ljubljana to get closer to the Top 1 in the BKT Eurocup regular season (66-72)

Valencia Basket knew how to suffer to win with a solid last quarter in attack a complicated and dense match on the Cedevita Olimpija Ljubljana court by 66-72 in a clash in which it could not develop its style for a good part of the match and which brought it closer almost definitive to the first overall place in this group stage of the BKT EuroCup. The taronja team knew how to recover from the home team's rushing start by returning the initial set and taking the lead in the first quarter, although the Slovenian defense did not allow Valencia Basket to find its offensive virtues in the rest of the first half and at halftime It was arrived with a minimal local advantage. The dynamic remained very similar after the intermission, but Ojeleye's triples activated a Taronja offensive improvement that was maintained with points from Xabi and Jones to take the lead in the last quarter. When the local team pressed, two triples by captain Puerto and two good defenses sealed the Taronja victory.
