The azulgranas have experienced a remarkable improvement despite the defeat in the big return of Beaubois and the brightness of Vildoza

Baskonia has not found the prize of the comeback, 74-68, in a clash in which the azulgranas have shown a great improvement with respect to previous games and have played from you to you before a Maccabi FOX Tel Aviv that has not seen the game won at any time in which Vildoza and Beaubois have shone. Prigioni’s charges have jumped to the field convinced to do a good job back to have options before an always difficult Maccabi. The azulgranas, with a lively and cheerful game, have begun the game with dominating rhythm but have not managed to break away from a rival who, thanks to a triple on the horn, has put the 19-16 to their favor at the end of the first quarter. In the second half, a 5-0 opening partisan, identical to the one they had at the end of the initial period, allowed Spahija’s side to break away from a Baskonia they wanted but could not. Diop’s work and Granger’s management have, however, allowed the yellows to go no further and the game went to rest with a 39-30 on the scoreboard.

After the interval, Prigioni’s men, far from being afraid, have gone out to eat the rival hoop. In this way, led by Beaubois in attack, with 22 points and 23 valuation credits at the end of the game, and a fantastic Luca Vildoza in the direction of the game, the azulgranas have closed the third with a 56-53. The azulgrana effort has not been rewarded with the triumph despite trying it until the end in which it has fallen by 74-68. A game in which there has been a noticeable improvement of the Prigioni’s team that will try to recover the victory in Sunday’s match against Gipuzkoa Basket.

The first few minutes of very serious encounters by the gasteiztarra team that has dominated the defence and then take advantage of their opportunities in attack. A period in which the azulgranas, with a cheerful and choral game, have been leading up to the final leg in which, with a 5-0 partial, Maccabi has managed to put itself ahead and close it in a 19-16. A new partial of the yellows has allowed them to break new ground in the second quarter. A income that they have defended despite the great baskonist with a colossal Diop, 7 consecutive points in the painting, and led by Granger to close the fourth with a 39-30.

After the dressing room passages everything was foretelling a clear dominion of Maccabi FOX Tel Aviv, but that’s when Baskonia has resurfaced. A great defensive effort, led by an electric striker Luca Vildoza, has allowed Prigioni’s side to come back from the clash with a three-point lead at the end of the period, 56-53. Baskonia has continued to row in the last quarter to try to get the first away win of the season. Vildoza has taken over the game and, seconded by a great Beaubois, 22 points have allowed Prigioni’s side to be in the game until the end. But errors in the final shots have deprived the spenders of the victory prize and have fallen in Tel Aviv by 74-69. Now, the azulgranas will have to change the chip and focus on the game of Liga Endesa that will face Gipuzkoa Basket in the first derby of the season that will be played on Sunday at Buesa Arena.
