Although the locals punished inside, Moncho Fern\u00e1ndez&#8217;s team kept the pulse thanks to Needham&#8217;s leadership and the power of Nikola Maric, who set a maximum of +8. However, a 14-4 run by Covir\u00e1n Granada turned the score around, forcing the Girona team to grind until a three-pointer on the horn by <strong>Pepe Vildoza<\/strong> allowed them to go into the break with only a one-point deficit (43-42) and everything was open for the second half.  <\/p>\n\n<p>In the second half, Girona showed their best defensive performance with a devastating 5-20 run that increased the lead to 14 points, led by an inspired <strong>Otis<\/strong> who added 11 points in this period. But the game was adjusted again in a last quarter of heart attack where Granada, very successful from the three-point line (5\/7), came to take the lead with a minute to go (84-83). In the moment of truth, <strong>Mark Hughes<\/strong> appeared again with six providential points in a row that, added to Geben&#8217;s free throws, closed a final 0-8 run to certify a victory of character on Andalusian soil.  <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Els millors moments del Covir\u00e1n Granada - B\u00e0squet Girona (84-91)\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/jZaaNQx05R8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>B\u00e0squet Girona started the match in Granada with a lot of personality, exchanging initial shots until Mark Hughes &#8216; success, with three three-pointers in three attempts, gave an initial significant advantage of six points.
