The Valencians, who won their second consecutive victory, dominated the first quarter 24-17 and fell in the next 15-19, to go to the break with a three-unit advantage (39-36).

After the break, the locals evened the scoreboard by winning the third period 19-16 and in a very hard-fought last quarter the visitors won 21-20 to take the important victory.

According to the collective statistics, the Andorrans were better in field goals with an effectiveness of 48.3 percent, higher than 45.3 of their opponents, who in three-pointers reached 35.0 %, slightly above the 30.0 % of the hosts, according to the official site of the competition.
