Cantero’s team did not want to give the talent of Valencia, the reigning Spanish champions and still in position to qualify, a chance to snatch a spot in the quarter-finals on the final day.

Casademon’s cover letter was simply perfect: 5/5 on field goals and three straight threes (two from Fiebig and one from Vega Gimeno) fueled a spectacular 13-0 start.. It was a pleasant day in the capital. However, a storm erupted within Prince Philip that threatened to sweep away the weak Lublin, which was at the very bottom of the group.

All that was left for his coach, Krzysztof Szewczyk, was to call time out and plead with the dead that the sporting weather would be clear. But there was no way. Golesinskaya joined the party because of 6.75 and Casademont ended the first quarter with a 19-point lead (25-6).

Only 10 minutes of the match were in the hands of the Aragonese team.
