Balanced start to the match between the two teams which leaves a lot of space, which allows a lot of fast play and easy baskets for the young shoots of CTC ABCLLA (18-20, 10th). The second quarter becomes more engaged. The girls are late, and have difficulty holding duels. But their outside shooting skills allowed them to stay in the match and have a two-point lead when they returned to the locker room at the break (36-38, 20th).
The ABCLLA makes the difference in the second act
The second half continues from the end of the first half. Joan Marlas' young girls are behind defensively, and they make a lot of mistakes, because the defensive assists are not correct. Their address disappears, which means that they will fall behind at the end of the 3rd quarter (57-52, 30th).
But this young team is not giving up. She ends up winning some important balls and that's when her marksmanship comes back. There is a three-point shot to equalize, and a free throw to take the lead, combined with important defensive stops at the end of the match, which will allow them to win for this first day of the championship in this new group.
