Valencia secured an easy and convincing home win against Zaragoza, 115-73, in the rescheduled Round 10 of Liga Endesa.
Valencia coach Pedro Martinez decided to rest Darius Thompson in this game due to the very demanding EuroLeague schedule ahead of the team.
Claim Now Valencia looked dominant throughout the entire game. They gained an early lead, which grew minute by minute as the match progressed, and in the end, the home team recorded an easy and comfortable victory, returning to the winning track after two consecutive losses against Monaco in the EuroLeague and Unicaja in Liga Endesa.
