Santiago de Compostela, May 23 (EFE).- Monbus Obradoiro will sleep in tenth place in the Endesa league, which can give them a ticket to play for the first time in their history in Europe next season, after defeating this Tuesday with comfort (102-72) to the already relegated Carplus Fuenlabrada, in a match that never had a history.
The Galician team needed to close the regular phase with a win and that Bilbao Basket did not achieve it against Unicaja. Both results occurred tonight, so only Breogán, who has won the “basket-average” for him and tomorrow plays on the Valencia court, can unseat him from that tenth place.
Despite the casualties of Álex Suárez and Will Magnay, Obradoiro found no opposition from the bottom team. He dominated from beginning to end an opponent who was very erratic in attack and excessively soft in defense. Each loss of the Madrid team, greatly diminished by casualties, was punished by Moncho Fernández’s block, who in the first quarter already sentenced the duel (30-16).
The people of Madrid took advantage of a Galician traffic jam to get a little closer on the scoreboard, but it was a mirage. Not even the 35 points signed between Lewis and Kromah gave life to a Fuenlabrada that gave itself up very quickly, which the coach from Santiago, Moncho Fernández, took advantage of to give minutes to the youngsters Santi Paz and Niang.
