111 Points To Sink Elan Chalon!

Unicaja Unleashes the Storm on the Martín Carpena: 111 Points to Sink the Elan Chalon!

The Malaga team imposes its law in the Champions League and consolidates itself in second place in the group.

The José María Martín Carpena Sports Palace witnessed an authentic offensive display by Unicaja. The team led by Ibon Navarro overwhelmed the French Elan Chalon with a resounding 111-82, reaffirming their good moment and consolidating their second position in Group K of the Champions League. This victory places them just one victory behind the sole leader, Joventut Badalona.

After a setback the previous day against the green and black, Unicaja showed that the defeat in Badalona was just a momentary blip. The Malaga squad played a fluid and electric game, especially from the third quarter onwards, where they unleashed all their scoring potential to seal the match.

The day also marked the debut of Justin Cobbs, the new point guard who arrived to replace Alberto Díaz's absence due to injury. Cobbs, who shared the selection with his compatriot Kendrick Perry, had a discreet but effective performance. In his almost 17 minutes on the court, he distributed three assists and made two steals, fulfilling his role as director and defender.

Elan Chalon, from the French region of Burgundy, arrived in Malaga with the label of a dangerous team. They had caused a surprise by eliminating UCAM Murcia in the qualifying phase and had passed the first round with a solid record of 5 wins and 1 loss. Their offensive reference, Jeremiah Hill, tried to put the cajista defense in trouble with his movements, and the French team showed character in a disputed first quarter, where they managed to make Unicaja uncomfortable, which, despite everything, led by two points (20-18).

However, Chalon's resistance crumbled in the second quarter. A 7-0 run in favor of Unicaja, with scores from Chase Audige, Tyler Kalinoski and Emir Sulejmanovic, opened the first significant gap on the scoreboard (29-23). Although the French team reacted and took the lead (31-34), the inconsistency took its toll.

Unicaja regained control of the match and, led by an inspired Nihad Djedovic and the direction of Kendrick Perry, managed to distance themselves to six points at halftime. The connection between both players was key for the Malaga team to take an advantage that seemed decisive.

After passing through the locker room, Unicaja's intensity and fluidity reached its peak. In a devastating five-minute stretch, the home team dealt a definitive blow to Elan Chalon. With surgical precision from the three-point line, Unicaja shot up the scoreboard, establishing a resounding 68-51. This 29-18 run in the third quarter sealed the game and sealed the fall of the French team.

The victory not only strengthens Unicaja in the fight for the first positions in the group, but also keeps them in the wake of Joventut Badalona, ​​undisputed leader after their victory against the German bottom team, Wurzburg. The Malaga team demonstrates once again its potential and ambition in European competition.
