The clash against ASVEL it was preceded by the result in Kaunas. The victory of the greens against Maccabi was not good news. He put pressure on Peñarroya’s team, who no longer played to qualify but rather to keep track of the Baltics. Minutes later it was confirmed that Anadolu was colliding with Fenerbahçe, so the Buesa team will have to beat Olympiacos in Greece. In case of losing, they have to wait for the same luck for Zalgiris, which they beat in the particular average.
The people from Vitoria faced the game with Sedekerskis out, who continues to have adductor problems. Neither Diot nor Lauvergne traveled to the Álava capital when they were injured. Even the coach, TJ Parker, was about to stay at the hotel due to a feverish process. The clash started with a triple from Marinkovic, the most inspired Baskonia player in recent days. Kahudi responded from the same distance to make it 3-3. The Alaveses were inspired in attack and, by minute 5, they were already winning 19-11 with Thompson having 9 points.
The 25-15 predicted a quiet night but Mathews began to punish the local hoop and brought his team closer. In the second act, Peñarroya used Unit B and that allowed the French approach. The differences hovered around 5 points in a duel in which the attacks clearly prevailed over the defenses. At 55-47, the Cazoo had 7/14 in triples. But he conceded a lot to his rival and, in fact, a very inspired Mathews went to the locker room with 17 points in his private account.
Fall committed his fourth personal foul early in the third period. His alternative, Tyus, did not seem like a man capable of stopping Kotsar and Enoch (75-61, min. 25). De Colo showed his mastery and kept his team in the game. The curious thing was that Baskonia put on their boots with the triples but signed a poor percentage in the free throws. Peñarroya’s men got 33 points in the third act and, by then, had added 25 assists during the game, an outrage with ten minutes still to play.
Fall’s fifth at the start of the final quarter deactivated ASVEL’s interior options. From 90-75 it went to 95-85 but, after a technique decreed on De Colo in the third quarter, Parker did not take him out on the track again. The last few minutes were fireworks. Point 100 for Kotsar who will have to pay pizzas to his colleagues, record for the Basque club in the Euroleague with 120 points, 33 assists at the end of the match and a Thompson, again, with a PIR of 36, 23 points and 12 assists. Passport to dream next week: Baskonia plays in Piraeus and Zalgiris in Munich.
