Friends below GDESSA

The CAB men's team confronted Ovarense in a game played outside the doors. The CAB is going through a good time, but still unable to count on the contributions of Fred Gentry and Bruno Cavalcante, both injured. Ovar's team is a very experienced formation, which has been playing together for a long time, and has been determined to win the game. The first period was played at an intense pace and with the two teams demonstrating great balance. However, in the last minutes of the first half, the Madeirans demonstrated a very impressive efficiency in the launches - 81% of implementation, with 100% use in the three-point launches - which allowed them to finish the first 10 minutes to win by 26-33. In the second half, the CAB entered with great determination to take over the pace of the match. The pace of the match remained high, with the two teams working hard and not showing great hesitation at the time of throwing in the basket, which only increased the show of the good game being played. Ovarense responded with great effort to the CAB's attempt to shoot the game and made use of its weapons to stay in the race. The CAB, less effective than in the first half (because it was difficult to keep the high record...) also managed to defend its advantage and came right out of the gap, by 43-52. In the third period, the team of Ovarense entered with an aggressive posture and, with three minutes played, had placed the marker in 49-52. The CAB, in turn, was not as well as it had been until now, and two minutes later the locations stalled the game (56-56). By the end of the third half, the house continued to ascend, confirming a punctual advantage of 68-61 after thirty minutes of play. In the last time, the game was played ‘taco-a-taco’ by the two teams. The CAB was well trying to move forward, but the Madeirans were showing some tiredness, because at the time of throwing it into the basket, they were not as effective as they would have liked. Playing at home, Ovarense managed to manage the ball effectively and retain the advantage, which, in the middle of the last time, was 82-72. By the end of the game, the CAB was fully committed, but their efforts failed to overcome the defensive barrier mounted by Ovarense. On the merits of the locals and also due to physical fatigue, the Friends, who were well collectively, failed to avenge, losing the game by 93-86. In Funchal, the women's team of the CAB confronted GDESSA, a formation that presented itself in the utmost strength, instead of the Madeirans, to deal with the prolonged injury of Joana Lopes and yet without one of the foreign players who are allowed to register. The Lisboners entered the game better and won the first period for 13-21. OCAB tried to react, but his effort was not enough to prevent the break from reaching GDESSA still ahead by 27-33. On the return of the locker rooms, the Amigas failed to reverse the pace of the game and ended the third time to lose by 37-50. From the fourth half, the CAB was far superior to visitors, but it was not enough to avoid defeat by 58-62.
