Obradoiro returns his smile against Granada (88-83)

Neither Monbus Obradoiro nor Covirán Granada are full of strength and confidence at this point in the track. However, some play with peace because they have their homework done, and others with need. The home team took the initiative, but without the final knockout. The visitors didn’t give in, but eventually gave in in the last part of the game managed by Robertson: 88-83.

Monbus Obradoiro led in the first quarter with good defensive work, accompanied by a strange way of finding points. He hit just one of his six two-pointers, but made five of his seven three-pointers. Opposite him was a rival with similar statistics: 2/9 in doubles and 2/5 in triples.

With the two groups closing out the rebound well, barely having another option and being almost as bad on turnovers, the quarter fell to Santiago’s side due to greater long distance success: 19-14

Obra started the second act well. They increased their advantage to ten points, but entered an insignificant phase against the more aggressive Granada in defense on the ball. The Andalusians immediately returned the gap to four points, and in Sar there is no better way to cut anesthesia than a controversial arbitration decision.

Five minutes before the break, Ndoye forced a one-on-one against Blažević, who fell to the ground. Mendoza personally whistled the Lithuanian and almost took away his technique, because he turned from the ground with a gesture. Moncho Fernández asked for a review, realizing that the visiting center had used his elbow. And so it seemed in the pictures. However, the referees confirmed their decision, Sar caught fire and the team reactivated. He built a 14-point lead, which fell to 11 after Costa’s 3-pointer.

The third quarter had two phases: with and without Leo Westermann. The French representative took over the scene and the game: defense, direction and points. He made his third foul, Moncho Fernández rested him and the score was 57-42. In the seen and unseen came a partial 0-8 that engaged Granada again.

So the minutes began to pass, some dragged on, while others cut and threatened. Obra entered the last chapter with nine rents and still had delicate moments. It started with three free throws by Phil Scrubb, but the Andalusians responded with two three-pointers followed by Pere Tomás, but it wasn’t three because the third equalized.

Three minutes later came a turning point. After being down six and in possession, Ndoye, overexcited, made his fifth personal rush to score. Robertson took the reins and despite two more triples in a row, this time by Thomason and Maye, the fear did not go away. Sar celebrated his thirteenth with enthusiasm.
