UNICAJA-LENOVO TENERIFE 83-91
And Malaga. The Andalusians, winners in the last edition of Badalona, fall in the first round. 25 points for Doornekamp, 23 for Guy. The curse of the host team continues as the home team has not lifted the trophy for 22 years.
A crackling and exciting first quarter where the 3-point game reigns supreme: the 30 points (15-15) scored by the first in the first 5′ are the result of a 2+1 by Ostekowski and a back-and-forth from beyond the arc among which the malagueño and Doornekamp shine with 12 points each. After the first half the score was 26 all with 11 triples on the scoresheet (7/10 for the hosts).
Match that continues at a high pace and high scoring despite the drop in distance shooting percentage. CB Canarias tries to extend the lead after 3 free throws from Guy to make it 36-42 before the Andalusian reaction which first equalizes at 44 points and then overtakes them at the end. A triple from Djedovic closes the first part of the match at 49-45.
6-0 partial score by Ejim and Kravish for Unicaja who fly to plus 10 (55-45). Lenovo does better, placing 0-12 to regain the lead of the match. Sima interrupts the Andalusians’ offensive fast and is responded to by a wild Doornekamp (11 points in the quarter and 23 in the evening). Osetkowski, Djedovic and Diaz on one side, Shermadini, Guy and Doornekamp on the other set the score at 65-66 at the last break.
Very balanced match until 74-74: after an unsportsmanlike foul by Kravish and the two free throws scored by Guy, Tenerife kept ahead until the end. Perry tries from distance to put the Andalusians back in the match but the trio of Doornekamp, Guy and Shermadini scores the decisive partial. It ends 83-91 with Tenerife flying to the semi-final where they will meet Barça.
