LDLC ASVEL Villeurbanne-ALBA Berlin | RS Round 22 Highlights | 2024-25 Turkish Airlines EuroLeague
ASVEL started strong, with Shaquille Harrison giving the hosts an early 6-1 lead. But Sergio De Larrea and Reuvers took over on the other end, with the latter drilling two three-pointers for a 6-10 lead. Back-to-back triples from Zac Seljaas allowed ASVEL to regain the lead, but Ike Iroegbu replied with a four-point play off the bench and Reuvers took his tally to 9 points for an 18-19 edge after 10 minutes.
An exchange of blows from inside saw Valencia maintain a 22-23 lead after Costello’s slam off the pick-n-roll early in the second quarter. Valencia summer signing Moore opened his EuroLeague account with two straight threes before an off-balance triple by Nate Sestina made it 24-32. ASVEL responded with an 11-2 spurt fueled by big man Vautier and Watson, whose jumper put the hosts ahead, 35-34, at halftime.
De Colo and Moore exchanged triples to open the second half before two consecutive buckets from Thompson put Valencia back in front, 40-43. ASVEL’s veteran guard added 6 points to his tally, but Moore and Iroegbu made sure that Valencia retained a 46-50 cushion. Yet, ASVEL fought back, with Watson scoring 5 straight points and Harrison beating the third-quarter buzzer with a coast-to-coast layup for a 61-60 lead.
Reuvers responded to David Lighty’s triple with one of his own before 5 points from Costello put Valencia back in front, 68-71. Thompson nailed a pull-up triple before a Josep Puerto slam in transition made it 73-77 heading into crunch time. Then, Thompson and De Colo traded baskets inside, but Reuvers split free throws for a 77-80 lead with 5 seconds left on the clock. Yet, ASVEL didn’t manage to send the game to overtime, as Harrison slipped over after losing his footing on the other end, allowing Valencia to clinch the victory.
