The game was on track in the first twenty minutes and the last quarter served to give a rest to some players like Ojeleye himself or Jones, among others. The good defense of the Taronja team, the second best in the competition, was key for the final victory that makes us forget the two tough consecutive defeats against Unicaja and Estrella Roja.
Matt Thomas stood out for the German team, scoring 15 points in the first 20 minutes that were of little use. It should be remembered that Valencia appeared in Germany without its two centers because Davies and Touré did not travel due to injury. It is also worth highlighting López-Aróstegui’s minutes on the court. Those from Mumbrú did their homework and remain in the Top-10.
Great start to the game, especially in defense of Valencia Basket, who wanted to have the game under control from the beginning.

The rotations in the team did not sit well with him. The game was even in rebounds, eleven each team, and with a great Inglis who was shining the few minutes he was on the court. The German danger was in the hands of the former Valencia player, Matt Thomas.

In the German team, Matt Thomas stood out and wanted to keep his team alive, with 13 points He was the top scorer of the match.
Pangos woke up when the team needed it most and he put it directly with a run of (0-8) that fired at the taronja. Valencia was doing well on the court, competing and doing well with his great defense.
Going through the locker room felt very good for Mumbrú’s team. who returned with Pradilla and Anderson to look for more bite on the track. Ojeleye continued to grow and added 15 points and 5 rebounds (min. 25). They were the best moments of Valencia Basket in the game that made the maximum difference (+20). In the German team, only Matt Thomas seemed like he wanted to do something in the game.
The last quarter served to give players like Ojeleye a rest, who did not play a single minute of the last ten, to Jones or Anderson, among others, thinking about what lies ahead and the load of games they carry on their legs. The success from the three-point line has been key (13 triples), and above all, the team’s great defense.
This is the Euroleague classification.
