The Dominican guard scored 36 points on 13-of-20 shooting from the field, underscoring Unicaja Alhaurín de la Torre’s current strong form in Liga U. With this win, Manolo Trujillo’s team secured their third consecutive victory (76-74) and are back in the hunt for the top spots in the competition. Alfonso Rodríguez and Javier Valero stood out on defense, preventing UCAM Murcia from scoring in the final moments.
Unicaja coach Ibon Navarro has analyzed the team's next opponent this Saturday at the Carpena Arena, Casademont Zaragoza (6:00 PM, broadcasted by DAZN and Unicaja Baloncesto Radio). The coach warns of the danger posed by Zaragoza's perimeter shooting and assesses the impact of Joan Plaza on the visiting bench.
Unicaja travels to Manresa, where they will play the second round of the Copa Campeones this weekend. The team, part of the project led by Berni Rodríguez, will compete in an unforgettable event promoted by the Fundación acb, which is the world's first national basketball league for people with intellectual disabilities.
Unicaja returns home this Saturday, March 14, a month after their last game at the Carpena to face Casademont Zaragoza (6:00 PM, broadcasted by DAZN and Unicaja Baloncesto Radio). It will be a reunion for the team with the coach who has led the team more times than any other in its history: Joan Plaza.
