Benidorm - Lucentum 97-51

No shocking result in a game when fifth ranked Benidorm (8-3) smashed at home 13th ranked Lucentum (1-10) 97-51 on Saturday. Benidorm dominated down low during the game scoring 58 of its points in the paint compared to Lucentum's 24. Benidorm forced 20 Lucentum turnovers and outrebounded them 48-29 including 17 on the offensive glass. Benidorm looked well-organized offensively handing out 31 assists comparing to just 10 passes made by Lucentum's players. Worth to mention a great performance of forward Unai Zamora (193-2001, agency: BAGENCY CSA) who helped to win the game recording a double-double by scoring 15 points, 13 rebounds and 4 assists and Thibault Desplace who added 21 points (on 9-of-11 shooting from the field) during the contest. The best for the losing side was point guard Miguel Martinez (183-1995) with 18 points and 8 rebounds and Argentinian-Italian Alejandro Zurbriggen (194-1995) scored 9 points and 5 rebounds. Since the result was very predictable, it gave the chance for the coaches to test many bench players and allowed the starting five to get some rest. Benidorm have an impressive five-game winning streak. They moved-up to fourth place, which they share with Xiria. Loser Lucentum keeps the thirteenth position with ten games lost. They share it with 3 other teams. Benidorm will meet league's leader Alginet on the road in the next round and it may be the game of the week. Lucentum will play against Ontinet (#11) and it may be a tough game between close rivals.

Ontinet - Jorge Juan 94-96

Rather expected game in Ontinyent where 11th ranked Ontinet (3-8) was edged by eighth ranked Jorge Juan (6-5) 96-94 on Sunday. Strangely Ontinet outrebounded Jorge Juan 42-26 including 16 on the offensive glass. They looked well-organized offensively handing out 22 assists. Worth to mention a great performance of Juan Gonzalez who helped to win the game recording 26 points and 5 assists and Jesus Calero who added 17 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists during the contest.

Four Jorge Juan and five Ontinet players scored in double figures. Ontinet's coach Luis Fernando Ortiz tried various players' combinations and tested in total eleven players in this game, but that didn't help. Jorge Juan moved-up to seventh place. Loser Ontinet keeps the eleventh position with eight games lost. They share it with Picken Claret and Carolinas. Jorge Juan will meet at home Elche (#8) in the next round. Ontinet will play against Lucentum in Alicante and it may be a tough game between close rivals.

Elche - Maristas 96-63

Very predictable result when eighth ranked Elche (5-5) outscored at home 13th ranked Maristas (1-10) 96-63 on Sunday.
