Dénia Bàsquet SUMA BPM LIGHTING signed one of its most complete matches of the season and put SERCOMOSA MOLINA BASKET on the ropes, a team that arrived at the Joan Fuster pavilion as co-leader of the EB group of the Third FEB. Despite the bad weather, the fans filled the stadium again on Saturday afternoon, creating a spectacular atmosphere that was felt from the first minute. Both the players and the public were dedicated, in a match played until the last horn.
Coaches Eduardo Clavero and Xavi Díaz had to manage a depleted squad due to the absences of Iván Alexandrov, Jorge Climent and Adrià Vives, which led to the participation of Alex Micó. Despite the adversities, the team took to the court with great intensity and was able to recover from the three initial three-pointers by Molina Basket. Good defense and success in attack allowed the locals to finish the first quarter with an advantage (25-20).
In the second quarter, the Murcians' success in outside shooting kept them in the game. Despite the great defensive pressure from the Dianenses, the visitors' inaccuracies generated quick counterattacks that tied the score at half-time (44-44).
The match remained even after the restart. Dénia Bàsquet did an excellent job on the rebound against the physical superiority of their rival and forced nine turnovers in the third quarter, achieving a minimal advantage of one point (60-59). However, in the last period, the accumulation of fouls began to take its toll. The elimination of Adrián Pérez and the fourth foul of Richard García complicated the rotation. Despite this, the team from Dénia remained ahead for six more minutes.
The eliminations of Daniel Perez and Richard García were taken advantage of by the Murcians to take a slight advantage that the locals could not overcome. Despite the final effort and success from outside, Dénia Bàsquet ended up losing in a match in which it demonstrated its great competitive level.
The team now faces three consecutive away games against ADESAVI, Benidorm and Real Murcia, key duels in the fight to stay up.
Very well, but the final result?
82-88
