A faithful teenager to forget Dame Sarr: the ARA Instant Replay

BadalonaHours after Dame Sarr scored 17 points at the Nike Hoop Summit, Barça cruised to a 93-86 victory at Coviran Granada. Kevin Punter had a key performance on an afternoon in which Joan Peñarroya played Raúl Villar for 14:56 minutes. The seventeen-year-old point guard, who is the first player in history to complete the journey from junior to senior squad, continues to progress while gaining a reputation for being a hard worker and disciplined player.

A motivated and intelligent Baxi Manresa

Baxi Manresa scored a very important victory at the Palau Olímpic (85-92). Two consecutive victories bring the Bagenc team closer to the play-off"I had already noticed in recent training sessions and during the warm-up that the players were very motivated. We were able to play with speed and moved the ball intelligently. We played a great game for 37 minutes, but we struggled to close out the match against Joventut, and we have to learn from that," Diego opined.

The Penya needs one more gear

Joventut will face the final seven matches with the uncertainty of not having secured their place among the top eight. "We didn't play well. By the time we put in the energy, it was too late. The situation is getting complicated," analyzed Ante Tomic, who renewed his contract with Penya a few days ago. The green-and-black team couldn't match the speed and intensity of Baxi Manresa. "They were one or two revolutions too high," lamented Dani Miret.

A Girona Basketball with soul

Baloncesto Girona dispatched Río Breogan (91-85) and increased their airbag to avoid relegation. The victory was both hard-fought and valuable. "We knew the game would be long. We're a team that doesn't give up, that fights, that isn't selfish, and where different protagonists emerge. It's our identity. When it comes to basketball, coaches always see many things that need to be improved, but in terms of the team's spirit, we've achieved it," acknowledged Moncho Fernánde.
