In a captivating confrontation at the Palacio of Los Deportes de Murcie, Barça has shown that its career towards team maturity is again on the rails. A few weeks ago, the team would have struggled to face the challenge posed by Ucam, one of the most formidable opponents of the Liga Endesa. They checked the match for much of the afternoon, but a three-distance point of Radebaugh at the last second sent the match in overtime. However, instead of bending, the Peñarroya team has kept calm and secured victory, thus dissipating the persistent doubts left by their recent European defeat in Lyon.
Despite the tension and the challenges encountered to obtain a new victory, there is little to blame a Barça team who persevered, raw and overcome all obstacles. With Willy Hernangómez on the bench during the 45 minutes and Jabari Parker having a difficult evening without scoring, the blue and garnet team has significantly counted on its star duo. Punter led the charge with 20 points (7 in overtime), followed closely by Brizuela with 19 points, acting effectively as a playmaker, stressing the path to the Catalan team.

In another match, Hiopos Lleida fell short from what could have been a spectacular basketball evening at Barris Nord, succumbing to a more precise baskonia in the last moments. The Gerard Encuentra team maintained an advance of 74-69 with only three minutes remaining in the match, but did not score. Meanwhile, the Pablo Laso team seized this opportunity, powered by an exceptional performance by Forrest, which scored 22 points, leading Baskonia to a final acceleration to victory. Despite a disappointing table that has cooled local minds, Lleida remains above the relegation area, now a slight mattress of a grenade victory, which is located in the descent area.
