Every season, everybody mentions it could be the season where Tenerife actually doesn’t deliver. Each and every time, the black-and-yellow team put the doubters back to silence.
They had never had a longer winning streak than this season, where they are now undefeated for as much as eight games. The latest one came against BAXI Manresa, winning 84-73 on the road.
Marcelinho Huertas was once again a crucial protagonist for Txus Vidorreta’s team, as the 41-year-old playmaker – yes, you read it right – dropped 18 points and 5 assists.
Without Giorgi Shermadini for three out of four quarters following his early ejection for double technicals, Fran Guerra stepped up for 16 points and 8 rebounds. Joan Sastre had 17 points.
On Diego Ocampo’s team, Emanuel Cate had a double-double of 14 points and 12 rebounds.
Following another victory in this year’s Basketball Champions League, La Laguna Tenerife is obviously on top of Group K at 2-0. Reggiana and Manresa stay at 1-1, while Petkimspor are winless.
