BAXI Manresa did not have their best day and fell at the Nou Congost against Lenovo Tenerife (73-76). The Canaries dominated for much of the game against the Bages team who were not successful in their shots.
In the opening minutes, the defenses clearly prevailed over the attacks. Both teams, who were very unsuccessful in their shooting, were exchanging control of the scoreboard. At the end of the first quarter, four points margin for the Txus Vidorreta men.
In the second the islanders had control of the score, and took a maximum advantage of seven points (19-26). Pedro Martínez stopped the game and that paid off, since two three-pointers from Taylor and a dunk from Valtonen put the reds ahead. However, the people from Manresa could not consolidate the reaction, and a basket by Salin made it 27-31 at halftime.
Returning from the locker room, the Canaries continued to dominate and managed to visit the free throw line with ease. There they forgave little, and thanks to that they achieved ten points that they managed to maintain until the end of the third quarter (47-57).
In the last ten minutes, the Bages team did not give up and tried to make a comeback until the last seconds, but the visitors remained solid and ended the reds' good streak at the Nou Congost.
BAXI Manresa will close 2023 by receiving a visit from Joventut Badalona to Nou Congost, on Friday, December 29, starting at 8:30 p.m.
