Regular Season Round 13: Benfica - CAB Madeira 78-75

Date: January 14, 2012
Fourth-ranked CAB Madeira (8-5) was very close to win a game against first ranked Benfica (12-1) on Saturday. Benfica managed to secure only three-point victory 78-75. However their fans expected easier game. It ended at the same time the two-game winning streak of CAB Madeira. The hosts trailed by 7 points after first quarter, but they rallied back to get the 5-point lead at the halftime and eventually won the game 78-75. Benfica shot 21 for 28 from the free-throw line, while CAB Madeira only scored three points from the stripe. Worth to mention a great performance of the former international forward Joao Gomes (199-85) who helped to win the game recording 19 points and 7 rebounds. American forward Seth Doliboa (203-80, college: Wright St., agency: Hart Sports Mngm) contributed with 16 points and 5 rebounds for the winners. Four Benfica players scored in double figures. American power forward Shawn Jackson (203-71, college: Johnson C. Smith) answered with 17 points and the other American import forward Jarvis Gunter (208-85, college: Ark.-Pine Bluff) added 8 points and 11 rebounds in the effort for CAB Madeira. Benfica maintains first place with 12-1 record. CAB Madeira at the other side dropped to the fifth position with five games lost. They share it with Barreirense. Benfica are looking forward to face bottom-ranked Ginasio (#12) in Figueira da Foz in the next round which should be an easy win for them. CAB Madeira will play at home against Academica (#8) in Coimbra and is hoping to prove to their supporters that this time they can win.
