Yesterday, Tyler Kalinoski became the third player in Unicaja’s history to reach this milestone for three-pointers scored in European competitions, with a total of 126 three-pointers. The Cincinnati-born shooting guard continues to add to his illustrious record whilst wearing the Málaga shirt, now in his fifth season with the club.
Unicaja earned its second victory of the season in the BCL after defeating BK KVIS Pardubice on the road, 63-79. The team dictated the pace of the game from the first quarter onward and was able to thwart the comeback attempts of a home team that fought until the very end. Kendrick Perry was the team’s standout performer (15 points, 7 assists, 3 rebounds, 21 PIR).
For the first time in its history, Unicaja is traveling to the Czech Republic, where it will face BK KVIS Pardubice this Tuesday (6:00 p.m., broadcasted by Teledeporte, Courtside 1891 on DAZN, and Unicaja Baloncesto Radio, live from El Quinto Quarto). The team is looking for a win to keep them at the top of Group E against a team that has a special connection to a former Unicaja player, Jiri Welsch.
Unicaja earned a hard-fought victory over a tenacious Kids&Us Manresa (72-84). The team dominated the first half thanks to their pace, but had to hold off a strong local comeback—as the home team fought hard to avoid defeat—with the help of a sensational Cameron Hunt. The American shooting guard was named MVP of the game (31 points, 2 assists, 29 PIR).
Unicaja Mijas put on a masterclass during their visit to the Grapa Municipal Gymnasium. A perfect third quarter by Javi Pérez de los Reyes’s team turned the tide of a closely contested first half. The team from Málaga held the home team to just one field goal during that stretch, turning a two-point lead into a 27-point victory.
