Asvel basketball players convincingly defeated Valencia with a score of 98:69 in the 33rd round of the EuroLeague.

The most efficient player of the match was Adrien Lovernj who scored 21 points, while Nando de Colo added 19 points. Kris Jones stood out for Valencia with 18 points.

The Spanish team significantly reduced their chances of reaching the play-in phase with this unexpected defeat. In the next round, Asvel will host Barcelona, while Valencia will play against Partizan in Belgrade.

Before this round, it was known that the Spanish team could be eliminated in two scenarios, either by losing and waiting for victories of Žalgiris or Efes, or by losing and waiting for defeats of both Partizan and Milan. The latter did not happen, and the former is still possible. The problem is that if Efes wins tomorrow against Fenerbahçe and Partizan, it would deal a significant blow to their Top 10 phase aspirations.

This defeat has put Valencia in a difficult position as they now need to rely on other results in order to keep their EuroLeague hopes alive. The upcoming matches will be crucial for both teams in determining their fate in the competition.

Asvel has shown great form in this match and will be looking to carry this momentum into their upcoming games. On the other hand, Valencia will need to regroup and come back stronger in their next match against Partizan.

Overall, the EuroLeague continues to provide exciting and unpredictable matches, keeping fans on the edge of their seats until the very end of the season. Stay tuned for more updates on the latest results and developments in European basketball.
