The Club Baloncesto Algeciras secured a significant 83-104 victory in Motril, placing them in a position to control their own destiny for finishing as leaders of Group D-A in the Third FEB on the final league matchday.

The squad led by Miki Ortega showcased its dominance from the outset, dictating the pace with effective ball movement and high shooting accuracy. This strategy allowed them to establish a substantial lead against a CB Motril team that struggled to find its rhythm. The first quarter concluded with a score of 23-30, laying the groundwork for their eventual triumph.
The advantage solidified in the second period as CB Algeciras intensified its defense and controlled rebounds on both ends of the court, capitalizing on every error made by the home team. By halftime, the scoreboard displayed a commanding 42-61, with notable offensive contributions from Romar Reid and Mark Mensah, who were pivotal during the visiting team's strongest moments.
After the break, the game entered a more controlled phase for the Algeciras side. Although CB Motril managed to narrow the gap to twelve points in the third quarter, taking advantage of some relaxation from the leaders, this comeback was short-lived. In the final period, Miki Ortega distributed playing time among all his players, including the Calderón brothers, Rodri Hidalgo, and Ale Montenegro, who all contributed to closing out the game without major complications, sealing the victory by 84-103.
Individually, Mark Mensah and Romar Reid stood out with 23 points each, both demonstrating excellent offensive precision. Dejan Ilincic also contributed 21 points, while Alberto Artiles and Bernard Edokpayi added 13 each, showcasing the team's deep roster and offensive prowess. With this victory, their twenty-third in 25 games, CB Algeciras maintains its lead and prepares for the final regular season game, which they will play at home on April 18 against CB Marbella.
