The 'taronja' team could not maintain their lead in a game decided in the final minutes, with crucial errors and turnovers in the last seconds. The outstanding performance of Retin Obasohan, with 30 points, was key to the home team's victory at Nou Congost.
This defeat complicates their fight for second place in the league and comes just before their trip to Athens to face Panathinaikos in the EuroLeague playoffs, where they are already down 0-2. The absences of key players due to technical decisions or injury influenced the game's development.
Throughout the match, Valencia Basket showed moments of good play, even holding a +10 lead in the second quarter. However, Baxi Manresa responded with significant runs, led by the accuracy of Obasohan, who was unstoppable for the 'taronja' defense. Free throws once again proved to be a decisive factor, hindering the visitors' chances of victory.
In the final stretch, with the score tight, Manresa managed to pull ahead thanks to a three-pointer from Obasohan with just seconds remaining. Despite Valencia Basket's attempts to come back, a turnover on the inbound pass sealed the game, leaving the final score at 104-102.
