[#Steeven.™]

Iberostar Tenerife beat Baxi Manresa after a very close match during the first three quarters and decided in the last. The Canaries were more regular during the 40 minutes, partly thanks to the leadership of the MVP of the Endesa League: Giorgi Shermadini (18 points and 22 PIR).

Iberostar Tenerife set the pace for the match from the start and subdued the Manresa team. The Canaries started with a very balanced game, finding Shermadini at the post and also his shooters (6-17 min 5).

The Baxi Manresa improved with the entry on the track of Dani Pérez and Scott Eatherton. The Catalans finished the fourth well with a favorable partial (17-12), approaching 6 points after being 14 down.

The Catalan team finished getting into the game with a good start in the second quarter. The locals took the game home, playing the counterattack and hurting Tenerife's defensive transition (37-38 min 16). The canaries reacted and the crash came to rest with maximum equality.

The duel resumed with great rhythm after the break. The game entered a phase of alternations on the scoreboard. Manresa started better and achieved his first advantage thanks to a quick game, continually looking for offensive transitions. Tenerife reacted thanks to the points of its bases: Fitipaldo and Huertas (59-63 min 26). But again the locals clung to the game and did not let the islands escape on the scoreboard.

The greater quality and physique of Tenerife prevailed in the last quarter. The Tenerife people showed individual talent in the first actions of the quarter to open a dangerous gap on the scoreboard that ended up being definitive (71-79 min 34). Baxi Manresa made the game a bit long, in front of a team with more ideas that showed its best defensive version at the end of the clash.
