Date: October 23, 2011
The most crucial game of the last round was the first loss of CAB Madeira (1-1) in Funchal on Sunday night. Hosts were defeated by Benfica (2-0) 92-87. It was a key game for the top position in the league as both teams had the same 1-0 record before this meeting. CAB Madeira was trailing by 7 points at halftime but managed to get 8-point lead after three quarters before a 37-24 charge of Benfica, which allowed them to win the game. They made 35-of-46 free shots (76.1 percent) during the game, while CAB Madeira only scored four points from the stripe. They outrebounded CAB Madeira 36-21 including a 25-11 advantage in defensive rebounds. 26 personal fouls committed by CAB Madeira helped opponents get some easy free throw opportunities. The best player for the winners was American forward Seth Doliboa (203-80, college: Wright St., agency: Hart Sports Mngm) who had a double-double by scoring 23 points and 10 rebounds. International forward Heshimu Evans (198-75, college: Kentucky) chipped in 19 points and 8 rebounds. American guard Austin Kenon (180, college: VMI) produced 20 points and 8 assists and his fellow American import guard Barry Shetzer (195, college: W.Liberty St.) added 19 points and 4 steals respectively for the hosts. Both teams had four players each who scored in double figures. CAB Madeira's coach Joao Freitas rotated ten players in this game, but that didn't help. Benfica keeps a position of league leader, which they share with 4 other teams. CAB Madeira at the other side keeps the sixth place with one game lost. They share the position with Vitoria SC. Benfica is looking forward to face Ginasio (#11) in Figueira da Foz in the next round and are hoping to win another game. CAB Madeira will play on the road against Academica (#8) in Coimbra and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
