The Canary Islands derby delivered a one-sided affair on Wednesday night. Gran Canaria dismantled Tenerife 102-83 in a Liga Endesa clash that showcased the depth and firepower of the yellow-and-blue roster. With five players finishing in double figures, it was a statement performance from a team firing on all cylinders.
Isaiah Wong was the undisputed star of the night. The guard poured in 25 points in just under 27 minutes of action, adding 3 assists and 2 rebounds to his ledger. His ability to create and score consistently set the tone throughout the game, and no Tenerife defender found a reliable answer to his movement and efficiency.

A Balanced Gran Canaria Attack Overwhelms Tenerife
What made Gran Canaria’s victory even more convincing was the collective contribution around Wong. Chimezie Metu added 15 points off a physical performance in the frontcourt, while Nicolas Brussino chipped in 14 points and hauled down 5 rebounds, bringing energy on both ends. Brandon Jefferson rounded out the scoring with 13 points and 3 assists, keeping the offense fluid and unpredictable. Pierre Pelos, though modest in scoring with 7 points, anchored the rebounding effort with a dominant 10-board night.
Tenerife, to their credit, had contributors of their own. Veteran guard Patty Mills finished with 15 points, going 3-7 from 3-points, while Giorgi Shermadini matched that total with 15 points and 5 rebounds in the paint. Timothy Abromaitis was solid with 14 points and 7 rebounds, and Jaime Fernández orchestrated the offense with 11 points and 5 assists. But their efforts were never quite enough to threaten a Gran Canaria side that controlled the game from start to finish.
The 19-point margin told the full story. Gran Canaria never allowed Tenerife to build momentum, consistently extending their lead through sharp ball movement and timely scoring runs. The home side’s defensive intensity disrupted Tenerife’s rhythm, limiting the impact of Bruno Fitipaldo, who finished with just 5 points despite 4 assists.
With this convincing win, Gran Canaria sent a clear message in the Liga Endesa standings. Isaiah Wong’s star turn was the highlight, but it was the team’s collective dominance that made this derby victory so emphatic.
