Great start for Valencia Basket's U14 men's team in the Minicopa Endesa. The tournament hosts made their debut with a solid victory over Unicaja Málaga on the first game at La Fonteta. The Taronja set the pace of the game, with great work on defensive and offensive rebounds, and ended up securing a comfortable win. Carlos Albert's team will play the second of three group stage games on Thursday at 12:00 p.m. against Occident Bàsquet Manresa.


The game started with two quick baskets by Unicaja, before Valencia Basket adjusted its defense. This was followed by a run in which the team closed down the rebound, ran and shared the ball, hitting a 12-0 run before the Malaga team managed to score again. Although the score remained unchanged for a few minutes, the Taronja team found the basket again and took a 13-point lead, forcing the visitors to call a timeout. Unicaja reacted with a 1-6 run to reduce the difference to 8 at the end of the first quarter.


The Malaga team's run continued to grow at the start of the second quarter, including a timeout by Albert, which did not prevent them from closing the gap to two points. At that point, Valencia Basket managed to break the deadlock and pull away again with an 8-0 run, which Unicaja slowed down by closing the gap once more. The Taronja coach called another timeout and his players responded quickly, now establishing a 9-point lead, with offensive rebounding as their banner. The visiting coach called a timeout, but Valencia Basket continued to strike, regaining a 13-point lead, which Unicaja reduced to 10 at halftime (39-29).


The Taronja team came out very serious after the break, very accurate under the basket and continuing to be very solid on the rebound. Little by little, the lead grew. First it reached 16 points, at which point the visiting coach called a timeout. Despite his team going on a 2-6 run, Valencia Basket came back with a 10-0 run that gave them a 22-point cushion. At the end of the third quarter, Valencia Basket was up by more than 20 points.


In the final quarter, the Taronja team managed to maintain their lead. They continued to score and respond to every blow from Unicaja, maintaining their good rhythm throughout the game. The accuracy began to drop and La Fonteta became a madhouse where the ball wouldn't go in any basket. With less than two minutes to go, Valencia Basket maintained a +24 lead that allowed them to practically close out the game. Unicaja couldn't close the gap and the hosts took a solid victory on the first day of the Minicopa Endesa.
