He youth The roller (65-85) spent this Saturday on the field of Breogan Riverwhich the teams in the upper zone of the Endesa League table continue to resist.
The game began to turn to Joventut in the second quarter with great success from the outside shot. Breogán (5 of 26 in triples) was unable to stop him.
The best of the ‘other league’ has not beaten any of the eight that preceded him, a ballast that keeps him from the dream of playoff one week away from receiving Real Madrid and his ex Dzanan Musa, MVP last season in the Endesa League.
Veljko Mrsic and Carles Durán reserved two of the most valued players in the championship in their starting five, Ethan Happ and Ante Tomic.

incidents: Match of the twenty-fifth round of the Endesa League played at Pazo dos Deportes in Lugo before 5,110 fans.
Joventut entered the game better with five points from Parra and three three-pointers from four attempts in the first five minutes (6-13).
Happ came up midway through the first quarter and his presence was noted. It didn’t take long for him to start adding recoveries that boosted the sky-blue ones. In just over a minute, his team, with an 8-0 run, took the lead for the first time with an action by the American who accompanied Bamforth with a triple (14-13, m.6).
Breogán’s latest addition, Nikola Tanaskovic, made his debut in the last moments of an entertaining first period, which ended in a draw (19-19).
As at the start of the match, Joventut scored another 5-0 lead in the first minute of the second quarter that forced Mrsic to stop the game. It was in vain.
Joventut’s seven three-pointers (two in a row) in nine attempts (77% accuracy) and the precision in the shots from two (8 of 14, 57%) raised the lead to thirteen points (24-37) for those from Badalona in 17 minutes and forced another timeout from their rival.
The gap continued to widen with a 0-12 run (24-41) and La Penya had 18 points (26-44, m.19) in their favor. The German Justus Hollatz, with eight points of Breogán’s ten in the second quarter, was the only positive for the Galicians, who reached the break 17 down (29-46).
The game resumed with Joventut in great tones. Birgander added the first five points for his team with two free throws and a triple, Nakic answered it, but Vives and Ribas (32-54, m.23) replicated it.
Breogán tried to react, but the Catalans not only did not let them, but went to 23 points (38-61, m.25), an income that was reduced to 19 with two recoveries punished by the Lugo team.
Carles Durán interrupted the best moment of Breogán, who refused to throw in the towel, not even when Nenadic was whistled for an unsportsmanlike foul after the review requested by the visiting coach. In the last ten minutes, the Lugo team came down 18 (51-69), who gave up the third quarter by one point (22-23).
The Breogán public asked for Guy’s foot just before he scored the eleventh triple and, almost afterwards, the twelfth (57-79, m.34). He was exceeded in the shot and was exceeded in the celebration, ordering the Pazo to silence. Durán sat down Joventut’s leader in scoring (17) and his team continued to pass the roller with the maximum difference of 25 points (60-85, m.37).
