Huertas Bids Farewell with 21 Points and Victory in Andorra (84-90)

Marcelinho Huertas closed his chapter in Spain the way he lived it: with the ball in his hands and scoring. In his final game with La Laguna Tenerife before heading to Dubai Basketball, the Brazilian point guard led all scorers with 21 points in 23 minutes.

He was in excellent form: 6 of 10 from two-point range, 2 of 3 from three-point range, and 3 of 3 from the free throw line. With his help, Tenerife won in Andorra (84-90) and sits in second place in the league.

Tenerife Takes Control from the Start
Andorra was only ahead in the opening minutes. Tenerife quickly seized control and closed the first quarter with a seven-point lead (15-22), with Kyle Guy hitting from beyond the arc. In the second quarter the game evened out: Ádám Hanga... no, Jonathan Akinjo, who finished with 14 assists, found his shooters and Andorra closed to within four at halftime (40-44).

Rebounding Decides
Tenerife dominated the glass in the second half. They grabbed 17 offensive rebounds, which gave them many second-chance opportunities, and their lead reached 12 points. They entered the fourth quarter with an eight-point advantage (60-68). Andorra won the final quarter (24-22), but it wasn't enough to mount a comeback. With about four minutes remaining, the game was paused briefly due to a medical emergency in the stands.

Beyond Huertas, Guy scored 19 points with four three-pointers and Wes Van Beck added 14. Jaime Fernández contributed 10 off the bench. For Žan Tabak's Andorra, Amari Best scored 12 points while Luka Mutić and Luka Radošević each had 11.

Tenerife improves to 6-2 and moves into second place while awaiting Sunday's results. Andorra has lost seven of their eight games and sits alone in last place.
