Kids&Us Manresa was unable to secure a win in its Liga Endesa debut, falling at the Nou Congost to a Recoletas Salud San Pablo Burgos side that dominated from the very first quarter (81-99).
Following an evenly matched opening few minutes, Porfirio Fisac’s team proved highly effective in their two-point shooting, taking control of the game and building a fourteen-point lead by the end of the first quarter (20-34).
The second quarter saw more balanced play, which suited the visiting side, as they maintained a comfortable lead throughout. At halftime, Burgos held a fifteen-point advantage (37-52).
Returning from the locker rooms, the Burgos squad made a strong start, extending their lead to 24 points (49-73). By the end of the third quarter, Porfirio Fisac’s men had firmly taken command of the contest (63-81). In the final ten minutes, Diego Ocampo’s players tried to get back into the game, but the visitors proved very solid and secured their second win of the season in the Liga Endesa.
On Tuesday at 6:00 PM, Kids&Us Manresa will play another EuroCup match, away against Bulgaria’s Balkan Botevgrad.
