BAXI Manresa continues to be intractable in the Nou Congost. The last victim was Unicaja, who arrived as the undefeated leader of the Liga Endesa and was dominated from the beginning to end up falling very decisively (109-69).
The start of the match was intense and even, and then the players directed by Diego Ocampo began to dominate and scored seven consecutive points, which allowed them to close the first quarter with a seven-point lead thanks to a long-range triple by Steinbergs (25-18).
In the second quarter, the Reds continued to show a great level of play and scored a new partial, this time 21-8, which forced Ibon Navarro to stop the game. At half-time, seventeen points of advantage for the team from Manresa (53-36).
Coming back from the locker room the tone did not change much, and the Andalusians couldn't do nothing to stop the onslaught of the Bages team, who scored eight points in a row again. At the end of the third quarter, the home team had the game well underway (83-55).
In the last ten minutes, the Nou Congost was a party, which Jou, the last Manresa player who had yet to score, also joined in. The fans made a splash and had a great time with a team that was very united, with up to seven players with double-digit ratings.
On Saturday from 18:00, a new Liga Endesa match at the Nou Congost, this time with the visit of another Andalusian team, Coviran Granada.
