An offensive festival by Valencia propelled them to a blowout 91 – 57 victory against a Nemanja Nedovic-less Unicaja Malaga and their third consecutive victory in the EuroLeague regular season.
The Andalusians suffered their third loss in a row following their stunning debut win over reigning champions Fenerbahce.
Game over by halftime: Not even the most devoted Valencia fan could’ve dreamed of such an impressive first half. Blazing from behind the arc (8/11 3s) and generally giving nothing less than an offensive clinic, coach Txus Vidorreta’s players went up 57 – 25 at the break registering the franchise’s biggest halftime lead ever in EuroLeague.
Unicaja Malaga simply couldn’t hope to recover, not only because of the enormity of their deficit but because they were seriously weapon-less following Nedovic’s absence.
The Four Musketeers: Erick Green needed less than 22 minutes to score 19 points and a career-high five assists while Alberto Abalde had a career-high 18 points. Rafa Martinez added 14 points and Bojan Dubljevic 11 plus four rebounds.
Only Adam Waczynski scored in double-figures from Malaga, finishing with 15 points.
