He Malaga Unicajaknowing how to suffer before the push of a UCAM Murcia despite going 16 down already in the second half, forced the fifth game of the semifinal of the Endesa League and recovered the home court factor of the semifinals of the Endesa League.
The series will be resolved on Wednesday at eight thirty in the afternoon at the José María Martín Carpena while Real Madrid awaits rival in the final.
He UCAMafter Saturday’s 0-15 start, started with Howard Sant-Roos as point guard and defending with a 2-3 zone but it was once again Unicaja that was in charge in the opening stages (5-15). After a 0-9 run and two triples scored by Kameron Taylor, Sito Alonso called a timeout but the maneuver did not have the desired effect, at least immediately.
The Malaga team increased their lead to 8-22 and 10-24 with Taylor already on 12 points. With the level of success of Ibon Navarro’s team, the home team’s attempts to react were practically sterile in the first half. The refereeing, much discussed by the Murcians and by Sito Alonso, punished with a technical foul for protesting, did not help to narrow the numbers on the part of the UCAM CB either. The period ended with a clear 18-31 for the greens, today in white, who seemed superior.
The second quarter began with a free kick scored by Nihad Djedovic using that technique and the Unicaja regained its maximum advantage (18-32). From there, Sito’s team, led by an enormous Rodions Kurucs – he plays infiltrated due to the injury he has in his right foot and it is barely noticeable -, finally They showed what they are capable of. With nine points in a row, the Granas moved within five (27-32).
Dylan Osetkowksi arrived to get his team out of trouble and with two 2+1s he gave them air. Also Tyson Carter also adding three by three, with a triple (30-41).
A basket exchange phase The lead was maintained and halftime was 43-55 and one more triple from Carter at the buzzer that signaled the end of the first half.
Scoring 55 points in two quarters, it was going to be difficult for Unicaja to miss out on victory. The inspiration of Osetkowski, Carter and Taylor, with 39 points in total -15, 12 and 12- was an endorsement for Ibon Navarro’s teamwho was in charge despite the fact that his rival won the all-important rebound battle by 16 to 13 – that fight would end 35-30 -.
The performance back on the court was once again better for the Andalusians and that meant they acquired their maximum income (43-59). However, it was clear that UCAM CB would increase its intensity and thus stalked its rival (58-63 and 60-65). However, Carter’s undoubted class allowed the visitors to finish the quarter with a little more advantage (63-72).
The first three minutes of the last period were filled with mistakes, one after another, by the two contenders. The first to come out of that dynamic was the local team and thus they were within a three-point shot, precisely after one converted by Troy Caupain (71-74 with 6 minutes and 9 seconds left).
Ibon Navarro called the players to his side and The break was bad for the Granas, who were hurtling and stopped dead. Several ill-advised attacks, some of them inconclusive, were punished by Unicaja, which once again opened the gap with seven points in a row (71-81).
The self-love of the university students, supported by their seething fans, made them continue resisting (77-81 with 1 minute and 26 left).
UCAM CB had two triples to get within one point but neither Jonah Radebaugh nor Caupain were successful – the second shot was blocked by Osetkovwski. On the rebound Dustin Sleva committed an unsportsmanlike foul – this is what the referees considered it – andl Unicaja already sentenced with two free throws converted by Tyler Kalinoski and a triple by Osetkowski. The series that will determine the rival in the final of a Madrid that is already waiting will be decided in the fifth game on Wednesday in Malaga. The people from Malaga start with the advantage of being home, but in this series the visitor always won.
