Match report
Melilla saw off Ponferrada 82-69 in the ACB on Sunday, a result that keeps the hosts in contention for a play-off place. The visitors sit seventh after 26 games, 15 wins and 11 defeats, while the home side have been building momentum at their own court.
Our preview called for the hosts to win, and at 72 per cent confidence we were right to back them. They controlled the tempo and did not let Ponferrada settle into any rhythm.
Melilla came in with some mixed form at home. They beat Valladolid 70-59 last time out but have also suffered heavy defeats, including 102-72 to Getafe Menorca and 96-81 to Burgos. This win looks like a step towards consistency.
Ponferrada's recent run has been uneven too. They beat the Spanish Basketball Academy 94-86 on their last outing but lost to Albacete twice in April, winning 74-73 before falling 80-75. They could not match the hosts tonight.
The margin of victory matters. Melilla held Ponferrada to under 70 points, something they have not always managed at this level. The visitors did not travel to make up the numbers, but they were outplayed in the key moments.
