Clutch Granger executed Estudiantes – ACB Day 18 recap

By Eurohoops team/ info@eurohoops.net

Baskonia got a comeback win over Movistar Estudiantes on the road 89 – 87.

The home side dominated the game for three quarters (67 – 78 at the end of the third) but Baskonia’s late reaction was impressive. An 18-2 run put the Basques back in front but the game was decided on the last play.

With the game tied at 87, Jayson Granger made a midrange shot to escape with the win. The Uruguayan led Baskonia in scoring with 18 and Toko Shengelia added 17. Sylven Landesberg’s 26 points weren’t enough.

Also, Valencia Basket was defeated in Santiago by Obradoiro 96 – 77. Alberto Corbacho led all scorers with 20 points and Matt Thomas added 18. Fernando San Emeterio paced the visiting side with 17.

Early today, Barcelona got a home win in the Catalan derby against Joventut and remains third in the ACB standings. Real Madrid got an easy home win over Bilbao Basket with Anthony Randolph playing some minutes after his injury. Madrid has won now 10 games in a row.

Over the weekend, Unicaja defeated Burgos on the road with four players scoring in double-digits.
