It is a heavy fall for Dijon. This Monday evening, as part of the third day of the group stage of the Men’s Basketball Champions League, the Dijon club, currently eighth in the Betclic Elite standings, bowed heavily, on the floor of the Spaniards of Unicaja Malaga (83-54), tenth in the classification of their national championship, on the side of the Palacio de Deportes José Maria Martin Carpena of Malaga.
During this meeting, the JDA more or less held the distance for the first two quarters. Moreover, the first even went into the hands of visitors (21-22), who were even still ahead during the second (26-27), where only 22 units were then requested, on both sides. . But at the break, the locals had already made a small gap (36-29, +7). Back from the locker room, this lead has therefore not ceased to increase.
Sek and his 16 points were not enough
In the third and penultimate quarter, it was even increased to +28 (62-34) and +29, in the end (83-54). Opposite, the Spaniard Dario Brizuela was in good shape, he who finished top scorer in his training, with 16 points and 2 assists. But, on the Dijon side, the American Henry Sek was clearly not to be outdone (16 points, 1 rebound, 2 assists), even if that was not enough. This defeat is already the second for the JDA in this 2021-22 Champions League campaign.
Its first came, in opening, last October 5, with the Greeks of Lavrio (65-63).
