The third quarter was even more decisive, with Valencia outscoring Andorra 27-18 to push the advantage past 25 points. The final period was played at a controlled pace, but Valencia maintained its defensive discipline and closed out the win comfortably.

Key Moments

The game’s decisive run came late in the first half and continued into the third quarter. Andorra had briefly threatened to make it a single-digit game with a few strong possessions inside, but Valencia answered with a flurry of three-pointers and transition baskets. The run stretched the lead from 12 points to more than 20, and Andorra’s offense never regained its rhythm.

Valencia’s defensive pressure was especially effective at the start of the third quarter. The visitors forced turnovers, contested perimeter shots, and turned stops into quick points. Andorra tried to respond through post touches and offensive rebounds, but Valencia’s size and rotations limited second-chance opportunities.

Tactical Story

Valencia’s offensive approach was patient but decisive. The visitors used ball screens to create mismatches, then attacked the paint when Andorra’s big men stepped out. When the defense collapsed, Valencia found open shooters on the perimeter. The result was a balanced scoring effort that made it difficult for Andorra to focus on any single threat.

Defensively, Valencia’s switching and help rotations disrupted Andorra’s pick-and-roll game. Andorra’s guards were forced into contested pull-ups, and the team’s interior scoring came in spurts rather than sustained runs. Valencia also won the rebound battle, which limited Andorra’s possessions and allowed the visitors to control the game’s tempo.

Standout Players

• Semi Ojeleye, Valencia: Led Valencia with 20 points and provided physical defense on the wing.
• Chris Jones, Valencia: Orchestrated the offense with 17 points and eight assists, consistently finding the open man.
• Jerrick Harding, Andorra: Scored 19 points and was one of the few home players able to create off the dribble.
• Valencia frontcourt: Controlled the paint and the glass, limiting Andorra’s second-chance points and protecting the rim.

Liga ACB Impact

The victory strengthens Valencia’s position among the league’s top contenders and adds another road win to their Liga ACB resume. In a competition where home court is often protected, a 32-point away victory is a significant statement. Andorra will need to address their perimeter defense and rebounding before the next round, but the loss also offers a clear learning opportunity against one of the league’s deeper rosters.
