Date: November 8, 2015
The most crucial game of the last round was the first loss of Laboral Kutxa (4-1) on the court of leader Valencia Basket on Sunday night. Visitors were defeated by Valencia Basket 85-78. It ended at the same time the four-game winning streak of Laboral Kutxa. It was a key game for the top position in the league. The hosts took control from the first minutes by winning first half. But Laboral Kutxa won third quarter 23-17. However it was not enough to take a lead and get a victory that evening. The game was decided in the last minutes when Valencia Basket won last quarter 24-18. They made 19-of-24 free shots (79.2 percent) during the game. They looked well-organized offensively handing out 24 assists. The best player for the winners was American center Justin Hamilton (213-90, college: LSU, agency: Priority Sports) who scored 20 points. Montenegrin Bojan Dubljevic (205-91, agency: Beo Basket) chipped in 13 points and 8 rebounds. American point guard Darius Adams (188-89, college: Indianapolis, agency: Three Eye Sports) produced 29 points and Dutch-French Kim Tillie (211-88, college: Utah, agency: Priority Sports) added 10 points and 7 rebounds respectively for the guests. Both coaches used bench players which allowed the starters a little rest for the next games. Valencia Basket (5-0) have an impressive series of five victories in a row. They keep a position of league leader, which they share with FC Barcelona. Laboral Kutxa at the other side dropped to the third place with one game lost. They share the position with 3 other teams. Valencia Basket is looking forward to face Bilbao Basket (#7) on the road in the next round which should be theoretically an easy game. Laboral Kutxa will play against UCAM Murcia (#11) and is hoping to win this game.
