Estonia’s basketball clubs and players were in action at the weekend, both in the domestic league and elsewhere in Europe.
Estonian national team small forward Sander Raieste delivered an excellent performance in the opening round of the Spanish Liga ACB, leading Murcia to a convincing victory.
Raieste started the game against Andorra MoraBanc in the starting lineup and ultimately logged the most minutes of any Murcia player — 23 in total — helping his team to a 95:64 (16:12, 32:17, 29:18, 18:17) victory.
The Estonian’s shooting touch was on point from the start. He led all scorers with 17 points (two-pointers 5/6, three-pointers 2/4, free throws 1/2), which also marked his new career high in the Spanish top league. In addition, Raieste collected seven rebounds (two offensive), delivered two assists, and made one steal. His plus-minus rating was +14.
Murcia’s second-best scorer was Canadian Dylan Ennis with 14 points. The top performer for the losing side was American Morris Udeze, who scored 15 points.
