Although San Pablo came within 6 points of difference at the beginning of the third, Shermadini continued to do a lot of damage in the paint and the game almost went to the Burgos in a few minutes where the attack was not fluid, the players began to notice the fatigue and Tenerife everything came out (43-60). Already in the last period, when it seemed that everything was lost and Lenovo Tenerife was winning by a difference of 19 points, Dani Díez and Max Salash got their team into the game with triples (53-64) and then it was Kullamae who joined the San Pablo scoring festival to bring Paco Olmos’ team to six points (64-69). A triple by Doonerkamp separated Burgos from the comeback in less than a minute (68-76), but the locals did not lower their arms and tried until the end, losing by five points in the absence of one possession, but Salash’s shot did not enter and the match was decided in favor of Lenovo Tenerife.
