Yesterday, Barça surprisingly lost on the pitch to Valencia (84-83), a rival who entered the match with doubts. In a very even duel, Jasikevicius’s men were too erratic and fell doomed in a face-to-face final in favor of the locals. In this way, the Blaugrana team let slip the opportunity to finish the day as the sole leader of the Euroleague and now it is Fenerbahçe, tied with Barça, Real Madrid, Baskonia and Monaco (10 wins and 5 losses).
The inspiration of Laprovittola, who scored 28 points on 6/11 three-pointers and a 31 rating, was not enough to topple a Valencia led by Rivero with 16 points, followed by Dubljevic with 14, who believed more. And that Barça tried a great comeback, neutralized, of course, by the locals. The orange team found the reward for their insistence and attitude to dominate the Blaugrana for more minutes, who came very close to extra time with a three-pointer from Kalinic on the horn.
