BarcelonaThe ACB stopped the match between Barça and Casademont Zaragoza in the 16th minute for the Palau Blaugrana crowd to pay tribute to Pau Gasol. The Catalan team, which has reserved Brandon Davies, has won and remains unbeaten in the Endesa League (76-63). The Catalan team has deciphered the key to victory in a second half in which victory has been assured.
The success from the three-point line has been key for a Barça that has been able to distribute minutes among the less usual players. The bad news has been Sertac Sanli’s injury. “Forty-eight hours after playing against Bilbao it was difficult for us to start the game. We are picking up the pace of competition, but the assessment is positive. In the second half we changed the mentality and improved the defense,” said Pierre Oriola , which has added 10 points and 5 rebounds. Another of the highlights was Nico Laprovittola. “We knew that Zaragoza is an experienced team that always fights, but we started well a week full of matches. The team is in good tune,” said the Argentine base.
