Offensive fouls and the opponent&#8217;s strong defense were preventing our team from scoring, something that Micic, Bryant, and Oturu took advantage of to achieve a +12 lead after a 16-0 run.\u00a0Lyles\u00a0and\u00a0Feliz, with 4 points, managed to narrow the gap before the end of the third quarter (55-46; min. 30).<\/p>\n<p>Our team falls short of a comeback<br \/>The final quarter began with a three-pointer by\u00a0Lyles\u00a0and another basket by\u00a0Deck\u00a0to bring the team back into the game (55-51). Defense was crucial to secure the win, and both teams adhered to this principle.\u00a0Deck, from the perimeter, reduced the opponent&#8217;s lead to +1, but Blakeney, Oturu, and Bryant pulled away again with a 6-0 run (65-58; min. 37). Ultimately, our team could not complete the comeback and will look to secure their place in the Final Four this Thursday in the fourth game of the series (76-69; min. 40).<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Disclaimer: Translation generated by artificial intelligence.
