Valencia turned a tight opening quarter into a runaway and cruised past MoraBanc Andorra, 107-75, on Saturday at the Poliesportiu d. The visitors’ 32-16 second quarter created the separation, and Valencia kept stacking advantages across the final two periods to finish with a 32-point win.
How it happened
The first 10 minutes suggested a competitive night: Valencia led 25-23 after the opening quarter. Then the game snapped. Valencia’s offense found rhythm and pace in the second, outscoring Andorra 32-16 to take a 57-39 lead into halftime.
Any hope of a home response disappeared after the break. Valencia maintained its pressure with a 26-14 third quarter, pushing the margin to 83-53. Andorra’s best offensive stretch came in the fourth (22 points), but Valencia matched it with 24 and closed cleanly.
Numbers that defined the night
Ball movement and control
Valencia finished with 23 assists, a clear indicator of how often the visitors generated shots through advantage creation rather than isolation. Andorra had 15 assists, but couldn’t keep up once Valencia’s second-quarter surge forced them into a more reactive game state.
Quarter-by-quarter separation
Valencia won every quarter, but the swing came in the second: +16 in a single period. From that point forward, the margin only grew—Valencia added +12 in the third and stayed steady in the fourth.
Turning point
Down just 25-23 after one, Andorra needed a stabilizing stretch early in the second. Instead, Valencia’s 32-point quarter created a halftime cushion that changed the entire shot profile and tempo of the game. With a 57-39 lead, Valencia could dictate pace, keep the ball moving, and play from strength for the final 20 minutes.
What it means going forward
Valencia’s win reinforces its position as one of the league’s top performers this season, improving from a 14-5 record and backing it up with a complete road performance. For Andorra (5-14), the loss extends a difficult run of form (LWLLL coming in) and underscores how thin the margin is when a single quarter gets away—especially against an opponent that can sustain scoring across all four periods.
