Spar Girona has returned from the FIBA window as if they had never rested. Roberto Íñiguez’s team remains intractable and has achieved a new victory in the LF Endesa, adding the tenth consecutive victory in all competitions. The success from long distance has made the difference for the Girona team in the second quarter, clearly imposing their rhythm on both sides of the court to end up overcoming Jairis by 89 to 70.
Spar Girona has survived Nelson’s seven consecutive points thanks to Lundquist’s success (5 points), tying the clash at 7. A 2+1 from Pierre-Louis has placed Uni ahead on the scoreboard (10 to 9), but the success of Ayuso (5 points) and a tackle from Ginzo have placed the visitors +4 (12 to 16). With Roberto’s timeout, the reaction was quick to arrive, and Bibby and Jakubcova put the Girona team back on top (17 to 16). Bernat Canut replied to the timeout and both teams tied at 19 at the end of the first quarter.
