Rafa Monclova’s men are surpassed by a great Tizona Burgos in ‘El Plantío’
The Melilla Basketball Club will have to continue suffering to try to maintain the category in the four remaining days for the end of the league competition. This Sunday, on a field as complicated as ‘El Plantío’, Rafa Monclova’s team suffered their eighth consecutive defeat after being beaten by Tizona Burgos, a candidate for promotion to the Endesa League, by a clear result of 89-74. The Melilla team did not have a good first quarter and, as is usual, they began by conceding an important partial start that then forced them to trail. On this occasion it was 6-0 and from there the people from Burgos increased their advantage until they had a maximum of fourteen points (21-7) three minutes from the end of a first quarter that concluded with a score of 27-14. In the second round there was a reaction from the visitors, who, after scoring 2-12, were only three points away (29-26), forcing local coach Diego Ocampo to call a timeout. The truth is that the break paid off because their team once again escaped in the light with a tremendous run of 14-2 to go to the locker room fifteen ahead (43-28).
After the break, the clash did not change much, with Tizona Burgos trying to break the game, something they seemed to achieve when they had a difference of 18 points (48-30) and after a few minutes they maintained a lead of thirteen (62-49). Fortunately, Melilla Baloncesto did not give up and, led by Bryce Bouvier and Guillem Arcos, managed to reduce their disadvantage to only seven points (66-59) right at the end of a third period that they won by a partial score of 23-31. The last quarter began with an exchange of baskets and with the Azulones – yesterday in white – getting closer and closer in the light (66-63, minute 31). However, and when the visitors seemed to be playing best, the Burgos team gave another push to go within the blink of an eye to eleven points (79-68, 34′). Rafa Monclova requested a timeout but this time it was of no use, the die was cast and favored Diego Ocampo’s men, who went ahead and were up to +17 (89-72) with just one minute left. of the crash. Guille Mulero closed the match with the basket that served to establish the final score 89-74. The Melilla team’s top scorer ended up being Bryce Douvier with 19 points, while the most valued were Óscar Alvarado and Guillem Arcos, both with 17 credits.
