Barcelona beat Valencia to win basketball Copa del Rey 2013






Regal Barcelona won their second Copa del Rey in three years as they beat Valencia basket 85-69 in the final of the knockout competition of Spanish basketball held in the Basque city of Vitoria.


Barcelona only qualified for the competition on the last possible occasion and had the toughest possible route to the final defeating league leaders Real Madrid and hosts Caja Laboral, who are second in the league, on their way to the final showdown with Valencia.
Valencia had also hit form in the cup, beating Asefa Estudiantes and Herbalife Gran Canaria in the quarter and semi-final to end a run of four defeats in the ACB Endesa league.
Valencia began the game strongly and held a narrow lead, 18-17 at the end of the first quarter, but that was the sign for Barcelona to begin their reaction, despite the fact that star player Juan Carlos Navarro played 20 minutes without scoring a single point.
Instead of Navarro leading the way as he so often does, several Barca players made their mark on the score with Pete Mickael top scorer with 14.
Mickael's final display was not his best over the four days of competition, but his displays against Madrid and Caja Laboral were enough to see him named MVP for the tournament.

SPAIN SMASHES DENMARK TO TAKE HANDBALL TITLE






Spain's handballers won the crown on home ground in Barcelona's Palau Sant Jordi arena on Sunday, rolling Denmark over in the last game of the tournament.
Spain won the final 35-19, claiming the title for only the second time. Spain beat Croatia at the 2005 tournament in Tunisia.
Sunday's game remained reasonably tight for much of the first half, with the score standing at 13-9 around five minutes before the break. Hosts Spain took control of the game thereafter, though, stretching their advantage to 26-12 over the subsequent 15 minutes of play.
Center back Joan Canellas led the scoring as seven of his eight shots found the net; three other Spaniards scored five or more. Goalkeeper Arpab Sterbik also had a strong game, making 14 saves. Denmark's 18 turnovers, compared to 10 from Spain, was another notable statistical difference between the mismatched sides.
Spain eliminated Germany from the competition in the quarterfinals, winning that game 26-24. The Germans finished the 23rd edition of the world championship ranked fifth overall.
Croatia, losers against Denmark in the semis, secured bronze in Saturday's third-place playoff at Slovenia's expense.
