Basket Navarra fell in the first leg of the final play off before the almighty CB Talk, which was superior throughout the match. The reds need to beat the Catalans in the second leg by 21 points to be promoted to LEB Oro, something practically impossible.
The Navarrese started the game badly, giving away three attacks in a row to CB Prat. After two minutes, Popovic completed the alleyoop that Fercho started from the band and opened the local scoring. They managed to get a point ahead (4-3) due to a counterattack by Lobaco, but the Catalans reacted and got a 0-18 run that began to sentence the match. In the second quarter, the locals came out more intense in defense with 2 against 1 and managed to cut the difference to 11 points. However, the success rate of CB Prat made him unstoppable.
The second part had the same dynamic. Basket Navarra tried, but he could not find comfortable shots that would allow him to cut the difference, which throughout the quarter was around 20 points (45-68). The reds needed a miracle to turn the game around in the last quarter, but they kept trying to, at least, close the gap ahead of the second leg. They came out strong and signed a 7-5 run. In addition, in two and a half minutes the visitors got a bonus, but even that was not enough to get closer to CB Prat (71-91). Despite the thousand souls of Arrosadia, CBN finished the game dead.
