MADRID (ACB) - A desperate fourth-quarter fightback could not prevent Akasvayu Girona going down to a narrow 83-81 defeat to lowly Forum Valladolid on Friday night.
Forward Devin Davis was the star of the show for Valladolid with 26 points and 14 rebounds and he was ably assisted by Bernard Hopkins (21 points and six rebounds).
They took an eight-point lead into the final quarter but were slowly pegged back by Girona, for whom Kevin Thompson (19 points and 11 rebounds) was impressive.
However, Girona, who failed to close the gap on the leading five teams in the league, could not complete their comeback.
Valladolid are now third from bottom in the standings, with Etosa Alicante and Leche Rio left propping up the rest.
