VALENCIA BASKET\u2013ASISA JOVENTUT 95\u201384<\/strong><\/p>\n

After a strong start by the taronja, with a 5\u20130 run through Reuvers and Pradilla, the Catalans took control of the tempo at the Roig Arena, producing a 2\u201313 run led by Hunt (9 points) to make it 9\u201313 after five minutes. Four straight free throws by Montero brought Valencia within one possession, but the verdinegro regained a six-point lead (17\u201323) after a three-point play by Kraag. Valencia closed the quarter strongly with back-to-back threes by Thompson and Taylor, trailing just 22\u201323 despite struggling badly on the boards (6\u201312 in rebounds, 0 offensive rebounds).<\/p>\n

A 5\u20130 run by Montero gave Valencia the lead again (27\u201323) early in the second quarter. Hakanson answered from beyond the arc, but Sako and Pradilla pushed the hosts ahead 31\u201326. After a three-point exchange between Hanga, Badio, Hanga again and Pradilla (37\u201332), Valencia pulled away before halftime, reaching +12 (46\u201334) behind a dominant Montero (15 points).<\/p>\n

Valencia came out even stronger after the break, with Badio and Taylor stretching the margin to +17 (51\u201334). Hunt sparked a Catalan response, and three free throws by Rubio cut it to 55\u201347. Joventut stayed close thanks to Rubio, Tomic and a Hakanson three that forced coach Pedro Mart\u00ednez to call timeout at 61\u201356 with two minutes left in the third. Birgander made it -4 before the 67\u201360 score at the end of the period.<\/p>\n

Kraag and Hanga opened the final quarter with a push (69\u201366), but Valencia responded with a decisive run, fueled by three-pointers and key plays from Pradilla, restoring a +14 lead (85\u201371). The hosts controlled the closing minutes without trouble. Valencia won 95\u201384 and advanced to the semifinals.<\/p>\n
