Spar Girona has broken the streak of two defeats which he had after losing to Landes and Gran Canaria thanks to a very attractive second part against an Araski who has stood up to the break. The joy of being relegated to the Euroleague and playing against Avenida in the final four of the top continental competition has been completed with a comfortable victory in Fontajau certified in the third quarter with the irruption of a stellar Gardner. Until then, however, it seemed that the Uni was still out. It was difficult to defend, too many balls were lost and it is still good that today the success in the triple has reappeared: 7/12 at the break, with a shot that came in crying Reisingerova on the horn, which has allowed a minimum booty of 6 points ahead at the equator of the match (43-37). The Araski, with a Dongue ubiquitous (the former Uni player finished with 12 points in the first half), did not allow the locals to feel comfortable at any time. Of course, in the second half there was only one clear dominator: Spar Girona, which has reached master of 30 (90-60).
Girona were able to break the game in the third quarter thanks to a stellar Gardner (at 6:39 two free throws of theirs gave a maximum advantage of 10 points to Uni, 53-43) although Dongue kept his recital by the visiting side. Gardner, however, was also ubiquitous at the Uni. He had finished the first half with 4 points and in this half he already had 11 more, in a row, which had propelled his team (60-45 to 5.18 after a 2 + 1). Dominating 15, the locals breathed a sigh of relief and ended up dominating without contemplation an Araski who had resisted well until the break. The fourth was closed, if not, Gardner, with 68-53. He already had 17 points, 13 in this half. There was no more history. 8 minutes from the end Uni won by 19 (72-53) after a basket of Drammeh, and Burke put the team above 20 with 76-53 with 4 points in a row. A 4.38 Julbe has changed Gardner, who has gone to the bench with 21 points and the game sentenced (81-56). Uni has come to command 30 (90-60) and in the end he ended up winning by 25 (93-68).
The good image of the second part has corrected the doubts of the first. And that, thanks to the success of the starting line-up from the line of three, Uni went very early from 7 (17-10), and it looked like the Girona girls would be forgiven for the last disappointments with a good staging against the Araski. The rival reacted and Uni again found the doubts and the game did not take long to equalize: 20-19 after two free throws of Asurmendi. From here, things get trickier. Uni always ahead but never able to break the game until the appearance of Gardner and the general improvement that the team has starred in the second half to end up getting rid of the Basque team without contemplation. Burkewho in the end finished with 23 points, has been the other most outstanding player in the Uni.
