Bàsquet Girona already has the track factor for the first round of the play-offs. Tonight’s victory against Movistar Estudiantes (70-68) gives this advantage to Jordi Sargatal’s team, which will end the regular season next Friday with a visit to Alicante. Fontajau responded by filling up (3,814 spectators) in a match that deserved it.
The people of Girona have come out very focused and ready to go to work, but they have run into the effectiveness of the second place. The Madrid team took the lead on the scoreboard and had to work hard to get the comeback before the break (39-31).
With the score in favor, Bàsquet Girona did what it took to defend it. Ustasun put a 10-point lead for the first time and from there the whole team did the rest to give Fontajau a good show. The third quarter ended 55-51, while in the last he has managed to keep up with his interests despite the fact that Estudiantes would not make things easy at the end and would end up suffering for the victory with a triple failed by the Madrilenians on the horn.
On the other hand, Granada has been promoted to the ACB with a victory over Almansa.
