We fight to the end against the second

| Sunday, 04 May 2025

Good first minutes of the game for the Girona team, highlighting Maxi Fjellerup with 8 points in 5 minutes. The inside play of Shermadini and the outside shot of Marcelinho Huertas, brought the score to 10 in the first five minutes. In the last minutes of the quarter a 0-10 run ended the first quarter 12-21.

The home team couldn’t quite find the right moment in the beginning of the second quarter as Tenerife maintained their 10-point lead. The visitors kept up Girona’s scoring pace, keeping the difference at 31-38.

At the break, Bàsquet Girona came out eager to turn the game around, reversing the deficit on the scoreboard with a +4 (64-60) that was diluted with the tie at 66 with which the third period ended. The offensive gale of the Girona team -35 points, the second best historical mark in a quarter- came from the accuracy (13/18 in field goals) and the good defense and closing of the rebound (9 to 5) that allowed them to run on the counterattack. However, in the last ten minutes, Tenerife founded the victory with a 0-7 run led by Marcelinho Huertas (11 rating in the hot minutes) that allowed them to maintain a cushion accompanied by good Canarian defense and the recovery of the accuracy in attack (10/14 in field goals).
