Coming off a two-game losing streak that seemed to have broken momentum, Valencia Basket hosted Turk Telekom Ankara with the intention of stepping up and getting closer to securing first place in Group B of the BKT Eurocup.
Early in the first quarter, it looked like the game could be a close one as the visitors led 4-8 with Valencia struggling on its first few offenses.
But, once the first triple went in from the hands of Semi Ojeleye, nothing could stop the hosts from soaring to one of the most impressive victories in club history.
Less than two months after setting the club record for scoring when it defeated Cedevita Olimpija Ljubljana 109-80 at home, Valencia Basket surpassed that mark when Nathan Reuvers converted an offensive rebound to make it 110-65 with 2:34 remaining. Brancou Badio and Sestina followed with 4 and 2 points respectively, to raise the bar to 116.

Turk Telekom Ankara-U-BT Cluj-Napoca | Round 7 Highlights | 2024-25 BKT EuroCup
The reasons behind such an incredible performance on Tuesday night can be explained by some numbers, like the three-point percentage (16 of 31, 51.6%), superb ball movement (28 assists), remarkable domination under the boards (45 rebounds, 15 in offense, against 28 and 8) and a strong and solid rotation, with all players (11) scoring and producing.
This was the ninth game of fourteen in which Valencia reached triple digits in scoring as a team in the competition to become the hottest offensive team in Europe right now, if you also count the five times Valencia has achieved the same in the Spanish League.
The offensive exhibition against Turk Telekom allowed Valencia to set a club record also in PIR, as it recorded 146, 3 more than the final PIR it authored against Cedevita on November 12. This comes just one month and one week after Valencia went for a PIR of 155 against Turkish Airlines EuroLeague side Baskonia Vitoria-Gasteiz in the Spanish League, where they defeated the Basque team 91-116 on the road.
