Flexicar Fuenlabrada Steals Road Victory Behind Dominant Jonathan Kasibabu Performance (69-72)

Matchday 18 of the Primera FEB featured an unusual scenario as the second-leg game between Club Ourense Baloncesto and Flexicar Fuenlabrada took place before their first-leg encounter, which had been postponed due to illness affecting most of Moncho López's roster.

Rafa Lisboa and a Three-Point Barrage

The match kicked off at Pazo dos Deportes with both teams trading baskets in the opening minutes. The back-and-forth continued until Kalscheur's second foul forced him to the bench after picking up fouls too quickly. From that point, Moncho López's Ourense suffered through a 0-10 run, struggling to score without Kalscheur and facing defensive issues that allowed Iñaki Martín's team to earn the bonus early. The first quarter ended 13-18 after two quick baskets by the home team.

The second quarter began with the same dynamic as the first—maximum parity and continuous scoring exchanges. However, Rafa Lisboa decided to launch a three-point festival, initially answered by Manchón and Benite, but they couldn't maintain the pace of the Portuguese sharpshooter, who put his team ahead before halftime with 14 points in the quarter. Moncho López's squad held a 7-point advantage heading into the locker room (44-37).

Isaac Vázquez and Jonathan Kasibabu: A Titanic Duel to Decide the Game

The second half maintained the momentum from the final minutes of the second quarter, with a superior Ourense holding the advantage. Fuenlabrada continued to struggle with fluid play and committed numerous turnovers. During this stretch, they had 4 turnovers, bringing their total to 19 lost balls. In the final minutes of the third quarter, several strong defensive plays and excellent free-throw shooting allowed Fuenla to cut the deficit to 4 points (58-54).

The fourth quarter was charged with energy from Flexicar Fuenlabrada, who opened with a 0-9 run to flip the game and regain the lead (58-63). Following the visitors' impressive run, the home team fought back with a stellar Isaac Vázquez. These two names—Vázquez and Jonathan Kasibabu—became the protagonists of this final quarter, both players proving decisive in keeping their respective teams competitive. Ultimately, Kasibabu won the titanic duel with 11 points, 1 rebound, and 1 assist in the quarter, securing the victory for Flexicar Fuenlabrada (69-72).
