Match Info

In a tightly contested Úrvalsdeild karla clash on Friday night, IR Reykjavik edged out Alftanes 93-89 in a high-scoring affair. The match, tipping off at 03:15 local time, saw the visitors from the capital hold off a persistent challenge from the home side to secure a crucial victory on the road, maintaining their push near the top of the Icelandic basketball standings. The game was a back-and-forth offensive showcase from the opening tip. IR Reykjavik established an early rhythm, moving the ball well to find open looks from beyond the arc. Alftanes, playing with great energy in front of their home fans, responded in kind, matching the visitors basket for basket through the first half. The decisive run came in the third quarter, where IR Reykjavik's defense tightened, generating several fast-break opportunities that allowed them to build a double-digit lead. Alftanes mounted a fierce comeback in the final period, spearheaded by aggressive drives to the hoop, but crucial free throws in the closing minute from IR Reykjavik's guards sealed the four-point win. The standout performance came from IR's import guard, who orchestrated the offense with precision and hit several clutch shots to finish with a game-high 28 points. This result solidifies IR Reykjavik's position as a playoff contender, while Alftanes will rue missed opportunities in a game they felt was within their grasp. The home side's coach praised his team's fighting spirit but pointed to lapses in transition defense as the key difference. Meanwhile, the IR Reykjavik manager highlighted his team's composure down the stretch, calling it a "character win" on a tough road trip.
