Baloncesto Seville stayed alive for the semi-finals of the ADIDAS NEXT GENERATION TOURNAMENT in L’Hospitalet by beating home team CB L’Hospitalet 79-80 to finish with a 2-1 record in Group A. Juan Oliva made two free throws with 23 seconds left for the final points of the game. Seville struggled down the stretch, hitting just four of 10 free throws in the final 62 seconds, but the winner of the Rome qualifying tournament last winter got the victory. Tomeu Rigo came off the bench to lead Seville in scoring with 21 points while Oliva had 15 points, nine rebounds and two blocks, and Eduardo Perez De La Blanca scored 14 points. L’Hospitalet dropped to 0-3 and still have not won a game since joining the tournament in the 2007-08 season. Carlos Malagon and Marc Ruf both scored 13 points, Andreu Nicolau had 11 and Oscar Gonzalez added 10 points in a losing effort.

Carlos Hidalgo made it 0-6 early on before Ruf knotted it at 6-6. Leo Cizmic’s three-ball gave Seville a 6-9 lead and after Pau Alquezar pushed L’Hospitalet ahead 11-10, Hidalgo scored again for a 13-15 lead. Alquezar however drained two three-pointers and Gonzalez added a long ball of his own in the final two minutes of the first quarter as L’Hospitalet was up 22-15 after 10 minutes. Rigo nailed a three and Oliva made two free throws in an 0-11 run for Seville to pull ahead 22-26. Javier Balastegui finally got the home side on the scoreboard at the 5:32 minute mark but Perez made two baskets and Rigo drained another triple as the advantage was 27-36. L’Hospitalet trimmed it to 31-36 but Rigo and Garcia knocked down long balls and Seville pulled ahead 33-43 at intermission.

Hidalgo pushed the gap to 33-45 and it was still 39-50 when L’Hospitalet started to get back into the game. Malagon made two three-pointers and another basket before Nicolau and Gonzalez knocked down back-to-back three-balls for a 61-60 lead. Pedro Martin stopped the surge with a three-pointer to give Seville the lead 61-63 after three quarters. Nicolau’s back-to-back baskets for a 65-63 lead were answered by two straight triples from Rigo to make it 65-69. The game was knotted at 69-69 before a Daniel Garcia three-ball and three Malagon free throws had L’Hospitalet up 75-71. After a three-point play from Rigo, Albert Simon made two free throws for a 77-74 lead. Jose Blazquez split two free throws but rebounded his own miss and Hidalgo scored to knot it at 77-77. L’Hospitalet went ahead 79-77 with two foul shots from Balastgui with 38 seconds to play. Carlos Garcia made one of two free throws and then Perez missed both of his foul shots but Oliva grabbed the offensive rebound on the second Perez missed free throw and was fouled, making both free throws with 23 seconds left. Malagon tried to win the game but missed his shot with three seconds left and the home team didn’t have time to get off a shot after Seville’s Daniel Vicente missed two free throws with three seconds left.
