Spar Girona lost at the Perfumer\u00edas Avenida court by 83 to 79<\/a> in a very even duel that went into overtime after being tied at 72 at the end of regulation time. In a game of constant substitutions and with short differences for many periods, the home team’s success in the decisive moments of extra time ended up deciding the result. <\/p>\n\n

With Iyana Martin leading the local attack, Bibby’s actions and Mariam and Klara’s points put Girona ahead (7-9). Quevedo and Mariam’s actions under the basket increased the score, but Cave and Zellous’ work tied the game at 13. With errors in attack, Vilar\u00f3’s basket put Perfumer\u00edas ahead, but the intense pressure from Spar led to them regaining the ball and then scoring Carol’s triple (15-17). Shortly before the end, Carter punished from long distance, making it 15 to 20. <\/p>\n\n

Maximum equality<\/h2>\n\n

The start of the second quarter was marked by the intensification of the defenses and, consequently, the scoring from the personal line, also highlighting the 2+1 by Mariam Coulibaly and the offensive actions of Virag Kiss (24-29). With the Monta\u00f1ana timeout, the Castilians attacked the Girona team’s zone with a triple by Spreafico, but the Arica defense led the away team to score a touchdown. Then, Spar found an escape route with triples by Carter and Bibby (31-40), but the intensity of Virag Kiss once again placed the home team at only 5 points (35-40). After Roberto’s timeout, the 7-4 partial led \u00cd\u00f1iguez to request another timeout 40 seconds into the half (42-44), but Spreafico’s triple placed the home team +1 (45-44). <\/p>\n\n

With the instructions at halftime, Spar Girona went to work to reverse the situation and the actions of Bibby and Klara, and the two triples of Coulibaly, have again placed the maximum of the match (47-56), Monta\u00f1ana stopping the shock. Carol, under the basket, and Laura, from long distance, have placed the maximum of the match (49-61), but the locals have responded with a 6 to 0 run (55-61). Having said that, Mariam’s triple a few seconds from the end has placed the 55 to 64. <\/p>\n\n

Regan and Soriano scored Avenida’s initial attempts in the last quarter, quickly stopping the Roberto game (59-64). Quevedo’s triple calmed the game a bit, but an Avenida on the rise was only 3 points behind after Cave’s action and Iyana’s triple (64-67). The good defenses of the locals slowed down our offensive rhythm and Cave, under the basket, put the Salamancans behind only 1 point (66-67). Bibby’s free throws put the +3 and, then, a triple by Mariam with 2 minutes left made Monta\u00f1ana stop the game (66-72). With the local break, Iyana Martin scored the two attacks to put Perfumer\u00edas back in the game, replicating Roberto’s timeout with a minute to go (70-72). Magarity tied the game with 11 seconds left, and the final play brought Mariam to the personal line. That said, the shots were missed, sending both teams to overtime (72-72). <\/p>\n\n

5 more minutes<\/h2>\n\n

With tired legs, the Girona team missed the attacks achieved with offensive rebounds. On the other side, Regan and Iyana punished, placing the local team +3 (75-72). With the offensive rebound, again from Bibby, the Girona team scored the first points in overtime (75-74) and, then, the free throws from Juste put our team ahead (75-76). Iyana, again, took the offensive weight of her team, converting two very classy baskets (79-76), stopping \u00cd\u00f1iguez in the game with 45 seconds left. Carter was unable to convert the entry and Iyana, from the personal line, increased the advantage. That said, our offensive transition ended with a three-pointer from Jocyte and a timeout from Monta\u00f1ana with 9 seconds left (81-79). The foul with 6 seconds left brought Iyana back to the line, which he punished again, winning Perfumer\u00edas Avenida 83 to 79. <\/p>\n\n
