Magic Moment of the Night: Nwaba steal and dunk!
Joventut refused to let London make it a close ballgame to start the second half, with Evans scoring a floater and Brodziansky responding to a Grantham three by making one of his own, 33-45. Despite London often hitting back, with Olaseni scoring from mid-range and Matt Morgan netting a fastbreak layup, 37-45, Joventut always had a response. Brodziansky struck again from deep and Tomic got the shooter’s roll as Joventut made it a 13-point game, 37-50. That trend continued in the remainder of the period, but 4 straight points from Tarik Phillip to end the quarter saw London trail Joventut 55-63 entering the fourth.
After scoring the last 4 points of the third, London continued its momentum in the fourth by going on a 6-0 run to cut the deficit to 2 points, 61-63. Andrews replied from mid-range, 61-65, but Matt Morgan completed a four-point play to make it 65-65. Busquets then put Joventut back ahead, 65-67, before Nwaba’s put-back tap-in tied it up again, 67-67. However, Tomic, Feliz and Busquets all scored in a 0-7 run as Joventut regained its advantage, 67-74. London just wouldn’t go away, though, and tied the game for the third time in the quarter after a couple of free throws by Matt Morgan and a Grantham triple, 76-76. Andrews immediately replied with an off-balanced three from the corner, 76-79, but Phillips went 2-for-2 to set a 78-79 score with 1:03 remaining. Feliz later went 1-for-2 with 14 seconds left, 78-80, before Matt Morgan’s layup levelled things at 80-80 with 5 seconds to go. But, with the last action of the game, Feliz scored a floater to ensure Joventut got the win and officially booked its place in the EuroCup Playoffs.
