The ^25th Matchday of the Endesa ACB League will face UCAM Múrcia and Básquet Girona at the Palacio de los Deportes de Múrcia. The two teams arrive with the intention of reversing their bad dynamics of current results and moving away from the relegation zone.

STATEMENTS 

Aíto García Reneses: “Training is going well, but there is also the psychological component. We have to turn this bad streak around and not think so much about winning or losing, but about rebounding, defending and attacking well.” 

“It’s a difficult game, Murcia is a very solid team at home. We have to play just as well as we train.” 

Roko Prkacin: “In my opinion we have a good preparation, we trained well last week, but unfortunately we lost the game against Manresa. We have to improve shooting percentages because it is key to being able to win games. We also have to work better in defense and have more communication between us»

“I’m in a good moment, but I have a lot of room for improvement, not just me, the whole team.”
