Game Recap
Basket Zaragoza edged Tenerife 81-80 in a tightly contested ACB matchup, securing a one-point road win behind efficient shooting and balanced perimeter production. Zaragoza made the most of its offensive possessions, shooting 29-of-59 from the field for 49.2% and connecting on 15 three-pointers, a major factor in a game decided by the smallest margin.
Trae Bell-Haynes led Zaragoza with 19 points, setting the tone as the visitors generated enough offense to withstand Tenerife’s late push. Roberts Blumbergs added 16 points, Justin Jaworski scored 15, and Caleb Homesley contributed 13, giving Zaragoza four double-digit scorers and consistent scoring options throughout the game.
Tenerife stayed within reach despite shooting just 37.1% from the field, going 26-of-70 overall. Ethan Happ led the home side with 13 points, while Tenerife also hit 10 three-pointers and competed on the glass, but the team’s lower shooting efficiency and 15 assists compared with Zaragoza’s 19 reflected the difference in offensive rhythm.
For Zaragoza, the result is a valuable ACB win that highlights its ability to execute in a close finish and win behind spacing, ball movement, and three-point shooting. Tenerife will take positives from its competitiveness, but the narrow defeat underscores the need for more efficient shot-making and cleaner offensive execution in tight games.
