This week Magec Tías "Against Gender Violence" had the idea of achieving the third consecutive victory and the fourth of the season. For this, they had to beat Lima Horta ? Barcelona, a team that is fighting to get into the promotion playoff positions.
The start of the match was very even with a Magec Tías that began to become strong in the defensive task in order to prevent comfortable baskets from the Catalans, who had to look for distant shots that did not end up entering and with shots inside the paint that, against the opposition of the locals, Aday Villalba's players won many more rebounds than in previous matches.
In the offensive facet, the Lanzarote team went from less to more, to the point of getting ahead on the scoreboard and making a gap of up to four points, concluding the quarter with the score of 13 to 9.
In the second quarter, the scoring capacity of the Catalans was much greater, to the point that the Lanzarote bench was despaired to see how Sergio Manzano's team managed to score a total of 27 points in those ten minutes, similar to what the local team had done in the entire first half. It had not been a good quarter for the local team, but they did not lose their composure or hope of winning, despite the fact that the match, in its half, was 29 to 36.
In the second half, Magec Tías "Against Gender Violence" brought out the caste that it has brought out in each and every one of the matches this season and managed to come back in the match with a superb collective performance both in defense, achieving a partial score of 7 to 0, and in attack, with percentages higher than those of the Barcelona players, with the exception of three-point shots, a pending issue in the match.
Only in the last moments of the quarter, the Catalan team managed to get back in front, 41 to 44, but with the feeling that the local team still had a lot to say.
But the truth is that the last quarter did not start as expected and the players of the Barcelona team managed to extend the differences by strengthening the defensive work. Magec Tías was not willing to throw away the possibility of fighting until the end, managing to come back and put Lima Horta in trouble. The score, tied, was maintained until the end, and although the local team had the last one in their power to look for the tie, they could not score on the horn and the victory went to the peninsular lands by 58 to 61.
