Until yesterday, Rafa Monclova’s team had not won a game at the Javier Imbroda Pavilion, a negative streak that they ended against a qualified rival like Tizona Burgos. Without a doubt, the key was in defense, rebounding and an inspired Parker Van Dyke, author of 36 points – five triples – and a PIR of 36.
The Melilla Basketball Club added a valuable victory this Sunday against one of the greats of the LEB Oro League, Tizona Burgos, whom they defeated by the result of 83-73, in a very complete match for each of the Melilla players. The local team began very well established on the court of play against the Burgos team, which led to minute 3 being reached with a first set of 8-5, thanks to a great success in the shooting of the players led by Rafa Monclova. However, in the following actions there was not as much aim towards the rim and at the halfway point of this quarter the electronic score reflected an 8-7 tie. The Azulones were a little sharper than their rivals in the final stages, which helped them stay ahead in the light. In addition, a final triple by Marjanovic established the 17-13 with which this act concluded.
The second round It started with an exchange of baskets by the two teams, but with Tizona Burgos who put his game up a gear, especially in attack to turn the score around (22-25), forcing the local coach to ask for a timeout to try to break the visitors’ rhythm of the game. Van Dyke appeared on the scene and with two consecutive triples put his team back up (29-27). The lack of regularity in the home team’s attacking game prevented them from gaining a good advantage on the scoreboard, which was taken advantage of by Tizona Burgos to recover the initiative although with little difference. The match arrived with three minutes left before the intermission with everything tied (33-33), a circumstance that would be repeated just at halftime (39-39), with an outstanding performance by Van Dyke, who had fun scoring 20 points to go to a rating of 21 credits.
The people of Melilla seemed superior in the third quarter, reaching the maximum advantage of the game, ten points (60-50). In the last period, Tizona Burgos pushed really hard and managed to get within five (64-59), but Rafa Monclova quickly the crash stopped. A triple by Varance, with four minutes left, seemed to put the finishing touch (71-63). Melilla Baloncesto did not take its foot off the accelerator and with the stellar appearance, once again, of Van Dyke, certified the victory by the same difference as the previous quarter (83-73).
