Lucentum endured its toughest performance of the season and dropped out of the playoff race after a tough defeat to Valladolid, a team that controlled the game from start to finish against the Alicante squad. Coach Gonzalo García de Vitoria watched his side produce a troubling showing in a crucial late-season clash. The people of Alicante watched as the attack failed to find its rhythm and the defense showed a worrying lack of intensity, especially in the opening two quarters when Valladolid capitalized and built a solid lead. Lucentum struggled to generate easy looks and could not convert opportunities, finishing with 3 baskets from 18 attempts in a persistent, early mismatch and a total of 18 turnovers, double the turnovers committed by their opponent. The need for a renewed approach is clear if Lucentum hopes to secure a return to the playoffs for promotion. With six games remaining, the next test arrives at Granada on Sunday, a matchup that will demand greater focus, discipline, and resilience from the Alicante side. The team must tighten its defense, protect the ball, and restore a credible level of offensive pace to avoid further slips as the schedule tightens. Leadership on the floor will be essential, and every possession will carry more weight as the chase for a postseason berth continues. If Lucentum can reset quickly, a fresh momentum could turn the final stretch into an opportunity rather than a setback. The players know the road ahead is demanding, but the chance to respond with a strong performance in Granada remains within reach and could set the tone for the closing weeks of the season.
