Santi Aldama could become a great protagonist of the marathon NBA day (with all the teams on the court for the imminent Presidential Elections of the United States), but it fell short. The canary missed the decisive triple for the Memphis Grizzlies (104-106) in a new duel between the Spanish of the NBA that once again smiled at Jordi Fernández and his Brooklyn Nets.

There can be no criticism of the Canarian player’s attempt. That play wasn’t for him. In fact, The clear protagonist was Ja Morant, who received it from Aldama himself after a side kick. The point guard cannot even dribble when he already has a defender on him, and with the little time (less than four seconds) left he must find a teammate. It is, again, Aldama himself.
Aldama He launches the front triple hastily and on the move. He doesn’t even touch the rim and the Grizzlies fall at the Barclays Center. The fourth defeat in eight games, precisely the same record as the Jordi Fernández’s Nets. The good defense woven by the Catalan coach left Memphis without ideas and the other Spaniard in the NBA was just one more victim of that tactical framework proposed by the one from Badalona.

At the Nets The 20 points each from Dennis Schröder and Cameron Johnson stood out, in addition to the 17 from Dorian Finney-Smith. “They were focused, Dennis (Schröder) had the day at the necessary moments. It was very good to see, because it creates trust among everyone. We were not satisfied with the clash against Detroit and here we were able to execute everything,” said Fernández.

On the other side there were some Grizzlies in which Aldama’s shot did not enter or improve their day (9+6+5) and where the connection between Ja Morant and the Canadian giant Zach Edey did not help. The two scored 25 points… but it did not translate into another victory in the team’s locker.
