Without aim, Barça loses momentum (63-73)

Sarunas Jasikevicius has recovered Brandon Davies and Pierre Oriola in a match that has served to debut the new video marker of the Palau Blaugrana. The Lithuanian coach has rested Rolands Smits, Dante Exum and Àlex Abrines (gastroenteritis).

Despite losing eight balls in the first quarter, Unicaja took advantage of the scoring inspiration of their outside players to build a six-point lead. The points of Darío Brizuela and Axel Bouteille have encouraged the Malaga team’s offensive production against a Barça team that, without success from the line of three, has worked hard (32-35).

Unicaja took advantage of Barça’s poor record to reach the last four minutes with a 14-point lead (52-66). The Catalan reaction was not enough to turn the score around.

Defeat of Baxi Manresa (98-94)

Baxi Manresa paid for the European effort and lost on the Río Breogan track (98-84). Despite having problems securing the rebound, the Bages team competed until the end.
