The obradoiro still hang on to the Endesa League
The Rio Natura Monbus Obradoiro gives a giant step in their struggle to stay with an important victory (93-89) against the Dominion Bilbao Basket. The meeting was lived dramatically after equaling 77 Bilbao points from local team forcing overtime in the Fontes do Sar.
The thirty-first day of the Endesa League had the reappearance of Greek forward Kostas Vasileiaidis, received with a standing ovation by the crowd obradoirista after 6 years without wearing the shirt of compostela's team.
The game started with two three-pointers that gave advantage to the Basque side, but turned out to be a mirage. Moncho Fernández imposed their dominance during the first half the score puffed blunt scoring streaks. The good choral performance Obradoiro opened a significant gap on the scoreboard, which caused some relaxation by the home team during the second half. Punchy and willpower the work held her own against a Dominion emboldened that in the absence of a few seconds tied the game, the extension was served. Then rises the heroic figure of Eimantas Bendzius, who took the team on his shoulders, scoring 10 points that ended the hopes from Bilbao basket to emerge again.
