He also had five steals, four assists, and two rebounds in a 25-minute stint.Gomez de Liaño&#x27;s efforts helped the Wolves improve to 2-0 in group play of the 2022–23 season European North Basketball League (ENBL). &quot;It was pretty tough, back-to-back games are very tiring. But with those two games, I feel that we really emphasized a lot in our defense. We take a lot of pride in that,&quot; the guard said. &quot;On the offensive end, we just let it flow. We just really stuck to the game plan. Glad we got two Ws.&quot;After building a 36-27 lead at the break, the BC Wolves completely broke the game open in the third quarter where they limited Valmiera to just 15 points. A 31-18 fourth quarter highlighted the Wolves&#x27; rout, as they led by as much as 30 points in the final minute of the contest.Regimantas Miniotas contributed a double-double of 20 points and 10 rebounds for the Wolves, while Eigirdas Zukauskas had 15 points off the bench. Gomez de Liaño&#x27;s scoring outburst made up for a quiet ENBL debut, as he was held scoreless by Tartu Ulikool Maks and Moorits last Monday. The Wolves escaped with a 79-77 win with the former UAAP Rookie of the Year missing all three of his field goals in a six-minute stint.The BC Wolves return to action on January 15 against Utenos Juventus in the local Lietuvos krepsinio lyga, where they have a 10-5 win-loss record.
