The Portuguese League
started with a big game, as the National Champions SL Benfica faced
CAB Madeira, the second strongest team in the league. Benfica won it
by two points (66-68) while the Madeira team faced an early out by
injury, as Jose Costa didn't finished the first quarter.
Ekjersey Viana was Day 1
MVP, scoring 16 points and grabbing 22 rebounds in the Fisica v
Lusitania match. That wasn't enough, yet, to surpass the Azorean team
third quarter, when tey outscored Fisica by 19-4, with Daniel
Monteiro and Augusto Sobrinho leading the team with 19 and 18 points
scored.
Hard start to Algés, with
Ovarense making it big in the last quarter, after Rui Quintino and
Danilson Vieira fouled out. In a team that is lacking experience in
their rotation, losing their two Small Forwards was just too much.
Mario Goncalves, with 16 points and 12 rebounds, was the Ovarense
main contributor.
Big day to Arnette Hallman
in the Academica away win over Galitos. The Portuguese born son of an
NBA Draft player (his father was drafted by the Celtics in 1980) made
a clear sentence about his value, in a team that has no foreign
players in their roster. 17 points and 16 rebounds is a mark Hallman
will try to repeat over the season.
