24.03.2018 AZS Koszalin – PGE Turów Zgorzelec in the last minute and seconds of the match Koszalin takes home the victory over Turn 82:80
It is the fifth win of the Akademics in the last eight games and the tenth this season (in the 27th games). While Aleksandar Marelja was the leader in Wednesday’s match with Rosa Radom (defeat 85:92), today on the court Diante Baldwin played (24 points, 9/11 from the game, 9 rebounds and 4 assistants, eval 33). He was supported by Modestas Kumpys, who with 16 points was the second shooter of the team, and added 6 rebounds.
In the fourth quarter ASS guests resisted the pressure of their rivals until 39 minutes, when Turów took the lead 78:77, and then 80:79. This season ASS lost in a similar style several ends of meetings. This was not the case this time. Less effective than usual Marelja came at an important moment, and later from the free he determined the result of the match.
Roderick Camphor was unstoppable in the PGE Turowa team after the break and scored as much as 11 points in the third quarter alone. The scandals lost a difference of up to 18 points in order to get out of the way at the end of the race. In the end, however, two points stayed in Koszalin, and the local hero turned out to be Diante Baldwin, the winner of 24 points.
The Zgorzelec players have already lost eight matches in the last 10 games and they are the shadow of the team, which in the first phase of the game was able to win the match after the match. The team of coach Claxton plays very well at home (10-3), but it’s terrible on the trips (4-11), which ultimately will not give Turom the opportunity to play for medals this year.
