The match
Balanced start to the match, the home team’s attempt to extend the lead midway through the half and Osetkoski’s third foul did not scare Malaga who immediately got back into the running, impacting the match and closing the first 10 minutes of the game at 20 all. Second quarter in tears: 0-10 from Andalusian and immediate response from Murcia (8-0) and teams separated by only 4 points at the halfway point (37-41). Low shooting percentages for both teams (13/37 from the field for the hosts and 12/28 for the Andalusians) who rely on the talent of Hakanson and Ennis on one side and Djedovic and Ejim on the other.
The good moment continues for Ibon Navarro’s men who, possession after possession, increase the gap in the score up to (+9) at 43-52. Murcia didn’t give up and, driven by a Radovic who scored 10 points in the quarter, they closed the gap to -4 in the final interval. New maximum advantage for Unicaja who flies to +12 with just over 5′ to go. Sito Alonso’s men fought until the end for a thrilling finish. Thanks to a partial score of 12 to 3, the home team regained a one-possession deficit with 40 seconds to play. Murcia is wrong, Malaga is not. The Andalusians win 74-79.
The key
While being able to rely on the talent of individuals, the true strength of the Andalusians is the collective.
