PGE Start Lublin defeated Energe Icon Sea Czarni Słupsk after an excellent match

There were a lot of emotions earlier. In the first quarter, they were connected with the great offensive attitude of both teams. The basket was pierced by both teams at an incredible pace and in the first quarter they scored a total of 53 points. Start was better by 1, leading 27:26.

In the second quarter, the hosts got into a fight, which the rivals used perfectly and were already leading 41:29. However, at the end of this period, they managed to equalize, thanks to a great fragment by Courtney Ramey. Although the Blacks managed to go into the break with a two-point advantage, it was of no great importance in the context of the entire match.

Especially since after the break the locals started to set the tone of the competition. Every now and then the Blacks returned to the game, but Start was mainly in the lead. However, everyone was waiting for the end and they were not disappointed. It was marked by mistakes from both sides. At 83:82 Quincy Ford made a step error. In the next action, Tevin Brown only used 1 of 2 personal shots. And two seconds before the end Alex Stein allowed himself to be blocked. In this case, maybe the leader of the Blacks did not make a big mistake - De Lattibeaudiere simply played brilliantly, driving his opponent into the floor.

Emmanuel Lecomte was the hero of the game on offense. The Belgian playmaker scored 15 points. Brown played great, as usual. The American scored 23 points, although his efficiency was not impressive. Stein was the best player for the rivals, scoring 21 points.

The next meeting in this series will take place on Saturday at 6:00 PM in the Globus hall.
