The TAU Castelló cannot with the external dynamite of the Morabanc Andorra
CASTELLO. TAU Castelló was unable to surprise on the pitch of Morabanc Andorra, second place in the LEB Oro and which has prevailed 84-72 in a match that has dominated since the first quarter. The locals have used their outside game to counteract the blue team and maintain their unbeaten record at home this season.
The electronic was inaugurated by the visiting Stutz, but Andorra would soon answer with its gunner Dee, who scored three triples in a row (9-6). TAU Castelló did not lose face in the game and played at a high pace. Halfway through the fourth the score was very even (14-13). But the rotations gave Lezkano’s men more defense, which together with the success from the line of three (7 scored from 9 attempts) allowed them to go 31-18 at the end of the first quarter.
The second ten minutes increased the same and the maximum difference of 17 points for Morabanc Andorra forced Orenga to request his second half. Next, the team raised the defensive level and controlled the rebound. This made them master the fast pace of the game and with a 6-17 and a great Joan Faner, TAU Castelló reduced the lead at halftime to 6 points 43-37.
Definitive gap in favor of Andorra
In the renewal, Morabanc Andorra came out plugged in again with a Dee that did not forgive from the 6.75 line. The Andorrans scored four three-pointers in the early stages to once again take a lead of 15 points (58-43). Orenga asked for time but the people from Castellón will only be able to reduce the Andorran advantage by four points. The lack of success in attack prevented them from getting closer in the electronic and the period closed with 63-52.
In the last quarter, Andorra continued to push the accelerator and the blue team lost too many balls. In addition, the mistake facing the hoop prevented them from reducing the differences. With just over two minutes to go, the Andorrans had an 18-point lead, leaving the match almost over (80-62). Orenga called for his last time and left the less regulars on the track thinking about the two important games that TAU Castelló has in the Ciutat. In the end, local victory by 84-72.
