Murcia shocked and eliminated Valencia with a 2-1 win, advancing to the semifinals with an 84:77 away win in the Liga Endesa.
The first quarter saw exceptionally efficient play, which might have been surprising given the crucial nature of the game for both teams. Both sides were shooting at high percentages, and neither team managed to pull away. A similar scenario unfolded in the second quarter, with a much tougher style of play. The home team went into halftime with a slim half-point lead, slightly more satisfied.
