Suffering also count

The senior sweats bravely to break the resistance of CB Cantaires, but maintains the positive streak in Fontajau (86-82)

| Saturday, 24 February 2018

The good line of the Girona Básquet senior continues in Fontajau. This afternoon, they beat CB Cantaires de Tortosa (86-82), in a game that was not comfortable and that was very difficult for them in the final stretch after clearly dominating it (+14) at the end of the third quarter . In the end, he was able to retain the victory, which allows him to remain third in the CA group of the EBA League (13-5).

The team led by Quim Costa has entered the court with the left foot. From the beginning, the rival has acquired the initiative on the scoreboard, with short advantages but which the Girona players, without rhythm, found it very difficult to neutralize. It wasn’t until the end of the second quarter when, in a few minutes with better defense and control of the rebound, they turned the tables (partial 12-0 and 39-30). A distance that would increase slightly at halftime (48-38). It seemed that Básquet Girona was facing the confrontation favorably, when it opened a 15-point gap in the middle of the third quarter, but nothing could be further from the truth. CB Cantaires, sheltered in a zonal defense, has collapsed the local attack to the point of seriously jeopardizing the game (79-80 after 0-11). However, the team kept their cool and decided the game in the last seconds from the free kick. Raimon Carrasco and Alfons Alzamora have been absent due to illness and physical problems, respectively.  

The match had the presence in the stands of representatives of the Entente Vallespir Basket de Ceret. The senior’s next engagement will be next Saturday, March 3 at the OIC-Penta UB Sant Adrià track (6 p.m.).
