Juaristi 85-69 Alicante
They beat Alicante in a perfect match, but Prat’s victory over Estudiantes prevents them from separating from their direct rival for salvation
Next Please. There are dentists who make your visit a more pleasant experience than playing in the Azpeitia sports center. HLA Alicante joined yesterday the list of renowned teams that have fallen in the Urola region and that was already made up of Estudiantes, Coruña and Oviedo after the perfect game that Juaristi completed to win 85-69 and get the eighth victory it’s from the season. When the week is clean and the team led by Iñaki Jiménez has enough time to recover from fatigue and prepare for the weekend’s game, Juaristi’s performance rises to, despite the absences of Thiam and Guridi, give anyone a scare .
Alicante began the confrontation with a triple from Hearst and that 0-3 was the only time they were ahead on the scoreboard. Savkov responded with two consecutive 3-pointers to grab a command that he never let go of. The azpeiti-azkoitiarras enjoyed high percentages and concluded the first quarter six up (25-19), and despite the fact that the Dutch giant Van Zegerem had begun to break stones in the area, the Juaristi left the perimeter scoring aside to dominate As rarely has he made the rebound this season to leave Alicante without arguments, who could not hold on to the inspiration of his individual talent or his greater size and corpulence in the interior positions.

In the resumption of the second half, with 44-39 and a slower paced game, Royo shone in defense and in transitions to start the set that made Juaristi take off. The hottest moment of the wolves caused them to go from 51-48 to 64-50 in just four minutes after a basket by Aizpitarte, who was responsible for putting the tie to victory in the last quarter with two consecutive triples (70 -53, minute 33). The maximum difference became twenty-three points (82-59) and Alicante had to settle for making up the final result.
The great afternoon of Juaristi could be finished off by Estudiantes, who faced Prat at the same time, the most direct rival of the urolatarras for permanence. However, the Catalans won 80-79 at home and the tie at eight wins in the standings will continue at least until Wednesday, when Azpeitia will experience a vibrant confrontation between his team and Palma, which is double the number of wins.
