Isaac Fernández’s team did not score from two in the first quarter, in which they only managed three triples and another three free throws scored by Ruth Hamblin Davis. For their part, the Galician team easily found the basket, with free shots and great success that made them leave with the score at 12-19 after the first 10 minutes.

And in that gorge, in which any other team would lower its arms, Barça CBS takes character y determination. The defensive zone, which choked the Galicians, also helped. The shots from the azulgranas began to enter, more warrior and physical near the basket, and the distance evaporated until they managed to drop to six points (45-51) with which they reached the last quarter.

The azulgranas made the same mistakes as in the first half again and it turned out to be impossible to save the tenth defeat of the season, which balances the balance with the victories in the table.

Now comes a stoppage of selections that will come in handy to recover energy and that will be special for cinnamon, the ‘8’ azulgrana who will be with the absolute, with the possibility of being able to debut under the orders of Miguel Méndez.
