Jindřichohradec basketball players did not manage the end of the opening game of the semi-finals of the I. League and lost to Svitav 91:96 in their hall. In a series played for only two victories, they made the situation very complicated and if they want to continue to think about participating in the final, they must win on Sunday against Turů (18:00).

The dramatic duel offered a balanced game. The opening part was narrowly won by the GBA Lions players, the second went better for the guests, who took a seven-point lead into the cabins. The South Bohemians cut five of them after three quarters, and in the final period, less than three minutes before the end, they took the narrowest lead, 87:86.
Tuř immediately regained the lead with a basket with a foul, and their greater experience showed in the end, even though they finished without three fouled players. With the score 91:93, the Hradec basketball players lost the ball in the attack and Svitavy dealt a decisive blow to the opponent from the subsequent action.
So the South Bohemians will avert the end of the season on the opponent’s field on Sunday, April 7…
