A forgettable clash unfolded against an unknown Lucentum side in Ourense, where the Lucienne squad endured one of its weakest showings of the season. A noticeable drop in defensive energy allowed the Galician outfit to stamp authority with greater intensity, success, and motivation. When HLA finally attempted to respond, the moment felt too late. Davison stood out as a lone bright spark for his team, delivering brief threats but rarely enough to shift the tide. In the closing quarter, he did reduce the gap with a string of timely three-pointers, yet the deficit proved stubborn. The defensive attitude observed throughout the game effectively sealed the result, leaving HLA to concede their sixth defeat of the season as the final act folded with little drama and mounting weariness.
Davison quickly asserted his credentials against a spirited Ourense, tallying seven of his team’s nine points in the first four minutes. HLA’s early 2-11 stretch forced Ourense to call a halt in the action, a moment that reshaped the flow of the game. Galicia answered with a 10-2 run, and Lucentum struggled to regain footing. Ourense seized control with an 18-7 burst aided by solid defense, leaving the Alicante side chasing a rhythm that never fully returned. The first quarter ended 20-18 in favor of Ourense. In the early stages of the second quarter, the momentum stayed with Ourense and Lucien’s defense became porous, breaking the cohesion of the offense. Davison and Kostadinov found themselves isolated in attack as missteps mounted and confidence waned. Turner proved difficult to contain, and Ourense widened the advantage to a peak of 39-26. The half closed with Lucentum trailing 46-29, a troubled chapter for the visitors.

Alicante’s side faced a daunting task, and optimism did not find a foothold. The margin reached 19 points as Ourense maintained focus and tempo, while Lucentum appeared reluctant to impose its game plan. Caínzos’s squad struggled to gain traction, and the contest slipped through their fingers. The third quarter concluded at 60-44, and the match hovered on the brink of suspension as tensions rose and play became uneven.
Davison once again carried the burden of a comeback, trimming the gap to nine points with two three-pointers that prompted Ourense to request a timeout. He faced the full might of the Galician defense as he hunted a miracle, but found limited outlets. The final period offered little relief beyond a late scramble for pride, and Harris’s quiet night contrasted with the necessity to salvage something tangible from the outing. With an upcoming rematch in ten days, the game became a memory to forget and a lesson to take forward, a gray day that underscored the need for renewed focus and sharper execution.
