El Bisbal Bàsquet’s promising start to the season came to a halt on Saturday at the Pavelló Vell, where Amics Castelló secured a 68-55 victory in the Segunda FEB. diaridegirona.cat reported that Èric Surís’s side suffered their third defeat of the campaign, failing to find a sustained offensive rhythm against a physical visitor defense.
Ken Issanza Dominates the Interior Paint
Ken Issanza proved unstoppable for the home side, finishing with a game-high 26 points. diaridegirona.cat detailed how the Amics Castelló player punished the rim from the opening tip through offensive rebounds, mid-range jumpers, and dunks. Bisbal’s interior defenders struggled to establish physical parity against his relentless activity, anchoring the visitors’ early advantage.

Defensive Pressure Chokes Bisbal’s Backcourt
At the offensive end, Bisbal struggled to generate clean looks against aggressive ball-pressure from visitors Cebolla and Díaz. Neither Adrià Domínguez nor Bernat Álvarez found room to orchestrate, leading to a stagnant attack that produced just 23 points by halftime against Castelló’s 37. diaridegirona.cat noted that the defensive intensity pushed the local backcourt into visible frustration.
Brief Third-Quarter Surge Fades Under Castelló Defense
Bernat Álvarez sparked a brief revival after intermission, draining two quick three-pointers that electrified the Pavelló Vell crowd and narrowed the deficit. Yet the momentum proved fleeting as Amics Castelló quickly tightened their perimeter rotations once again. diaridegirona.cat reported that the mounting frustration eventually boiled over, resulting in technical fouls whistled against both Álvarez and Èric Surís over officiating complaints.
Standings Contrast and Next Fixture
While Jose Pichel’s Castelló squad celebrated their first victory of the regular season, Bisbal Bàsquet remains winless through three matches after reaching the Copa España first phase undefeated. diaridegirona.cat confirmed that Bisbal will continue searching for their elusive opening league win as the Segunda FEB calendar moves forward.
