Spar Girona added an agonizing victory to the Valencia Basket court (55-61). The two teams tied for 12 victories in the standings – the Valencians with one game less – and the good defense of Girona, especially in the first half, has been key to adding the victory on a difficult track. And all in the return of María Araújo 295 later after being injured. The Galician played five minutes between the first and second quarter and scored 3 points.
It might seem that the group led by Alfred Julbe could turn theaverage particular with the Valencians -who won 58-72 in Fontajau- when the team won by 10 points at certain times in the second period (14-24) or when they had played seven minutes in the third quarter (33-43). But in the end, the team coached by Rubén Burgos, led by Cristina Ouviña with 22 points, reacted, causing the match to be decided in the end.
Valencia took the lead with 53-52 with two and a half minutes to go. Uni reacted with a 2 + 1 from Gardner (53-55), which was equalized by Gulich (55-55). However, the Girona team defended better in the last moments and Gardner and Burke ended up deciding from the free throw line (55-61).
