Benfica defeated Sporting by 85-84 in Game 1 of the Liga Betclic playoff final which had an electrifying finale. The lions managed to turn the score around with three seconds left (making the momentary 83-83), but, after two timeouts, the eagles returned to the lead through Broussard scoring two points over the horn.
Broussard was even the best scorer of the reds, and even of the match, with 23 points and four assists and six rebounds. On Sporting’s side, Joshua Patton, Marcus Lovett Jr. and Eddy Polanco were the top scorers with 20 points each.
Benfica thus takes the lead in the playoff final, played over the best of five games, and will host Sporting again in game 2 of this tie, on Tuesday, at 7 pm.
