The match played in Granada presented a worrying image of Unicaja, which displayed an alarming lack of intensity and commitment. Despite having a full week to prepare for the game and the support of hundreds of traveling fans, the team failed to compete with the expected dignity, accumulating errors in both defense and offense.
From the outset, Unicaja's defensive passivity allowed the Granada team to dominate the paint, while the inability to build quick and effective attacks resulted in low shooting percentages. At halftime, the score was 41-31, with Covirán Granada showing clear superiority.
“"It was not a matter of systems, it was a matter of will. These are minimums for professional competition that Unicaja did not reach."
The second half did not bring the expected reaction from the Malaga team. Covirán Granada extended their lead to 23 points in the final quarter, securing a victory that was enthusiastically celebrated by their fans. This defeat highlights the difficult situation of Unicaja, which is on a negative streak and failing to capitalize on opportunities to improve its position in the standings.
