In the upper part of the general classification neither BAZU (solo leader), nor Rado Pakolo nor CB Daimiel failed. The duel of the day between La Academia and EBA, an Albacete derby, favored the EBA side, which in this way equaled its rival and Damiel with 4 wins in second place.
Jesús Flores (11/09/2024) | Victories also for Group 76-Alkasar and Baloncesto Criptana who continue to grow to be placed in the quiet zone for the first, and in the zone almost outside of play out for the second. Cuenca and Tomelloso with their defeats are still in trouble in the “Red Zone” of the classification.
BAZU 82-76 Basketball Polygon Toledo
Great game between two of the most in-form teams in the championship to date. First quarter without a clear dominator who gave credence to seeing what happened in the second. There the Toledo team managed to go ahead on the scoreboard with an important advantage of +8 right at the intermission. Passage through the locker room and controlled exit of Luis Muñoz’s team, who before entering the last ten of the game had already managed to turn the game around and enter there with a minimal difference on the scoreboard. In the key moments, the Azudenses sealed the game and achieved their fifth of the season to continue at the top while their rival remains with three victories.

Rado Pakolo Almansa 57-49 Dentatis Puertollano
First match at La Bombonera for Rado Pakolo and first official victory at home. An intense match played yesterday afternoon against a Puertollano team that pushed hard in defense and was weighed down by the loss of the first quarter against ending up catching something during their visit to Almansa. The locals tried their best to play with a low score to win on their home court to continue in good contention and even with two games less than most of their rivals.
- Mouhamadou Diop (Puertollano)- +32 Rating, 16 points, 18 Rebounds 2 Assists
- Samu Guardiola (Almansa)- +19 Rating, 12 points 6 Rebounds 3 Assists
Movialsa Basketball Criptana 64-45 Globalcaja Cuenca
Second consecutive victory for Baloncesto Criptana that allows it to continue climbing positions after its victories against the last two classified teams on these last two dates. A very well planned match against the people of Cuenca, who with the +11 at half-time made it very clear that they were not going to allow victory to escape Municipal. Few offensive options for Jaime Muñoz’s team, who remain penultimate with only one win.

Becares Basket Cervantes Ciudad Real 55-70 Autocares Rodríguez Daimiel
Fourth victory of the year for Jacobo Garrido’s team on their visit to the nearby capital of Ciudad Real. A tough and complicated win for the Daimieleños who saw how the locals were always close and in match dynamics in the first half hour of play. Only the last quarter with a 18-27 for the visitors took Cervantes out of their options and allowed Daimiel to take home this new point in the general standings. In this way they place second while Cervantes remains with two victories in the lower middle zone of the table.

Group 76-alkasar 60-49 Val Brokers CB Tomelloso
Jaime Tolosa’s men once again won an important game at home against bottom team Tomelloso. The Auriverdes stood up for almost the entire game. Only in the last quarter did the Alcazareños escape, as they knew how to read the game better to end up winning at the Díaz Miguel. Three victories that allow the Group to place itself in a comfortable area of the table while the Tomelloseros still have not won and are in direct relegation positions.
- Sergio Asenjo (Group)- +20 Rating 10 points, 14 Rebounds
- Rubén Bruno (Group)- 12 points (+Score)
- Miguel Lara (Tomelloso)- +25 Rating, 19 points 13 Rebounds 2 assists
Empledis Basketball Academy Albacete 57-82 EBA
The Schools brought out all their potential on this day, defeating The Academy in Parque Sur with great clarity. There was only one team on the court in this clash and that was none other than the EBA, which in the first half hour of play left the game more than doomed for an inconsequential final quarter. Victory that becomes the fourth for Chemi Escudero’s team and which ties both Albacete teams together with Damiel in second position in the League. New great game from Gonzalo Piñero who, with his double figures, continues to be one of the references in each victory of the red and black team.
- Gonzalo Piñero (EBA)- +23 Rating, 14 points 11 Rebounds 2 Assists
- Juanda Ruiz (Academy)- +17 Rating, 10 points and 10 Rebounds 1 Assist
- Alejandro Zamorano (Academy)- 12 points (+Score)
