Erased ghosts. Barça did not falter on UCAM Murcia's court (76-100) and will play in the Endesa League semifinals against a surprising La Laguna Tenerife, which left Real Madrid with a surprised look. Precision from the three-point line boosted the scoring of a Barça team that had learned its lesson. Will Clyburn (23 points) and Nico Laprovittola (14 points) scored 8 of the 12 three-pointers made by the Culer team. "We played a good game with concentration," said Xavi Pascual.

Badalona does not want to give up. Asisa Joventut beat Kosner Baskonia (82-63) and earned the right to fight for a ticket to the semifinals in Vitoria on Sunday. La Penya played with energy and determination against a rival hampered by its poor shooting percentages. Cameron Hunt, who scored 27 points with six three-pointers, led the green-and-black victory. "We played one of our best games at home," said Dani Miret.

Barça, bewildered by the refereeing and the zonal defense set up by Sito Alonso, lost to UCAM Murcia (87-90). The Blaugrana team played with fire and ended up getting burned against an opponent who knew how to play their cards. The quarter-final tie will be decided on Saturday in Murcia. Joel Parra and Kevin Punter missed two three-pointers to force overtime, but the final stretch was conditioned by some refereeing decisions heavily criticized by the locals. "We fought and we competed, but the last two personal fouls decided the game. They had great success," lamented Xavi Pascual.

Asisa Joventut wanted to make a big splash, but fell short in Vitoria (85-71). La Penya couldn't compete against the physical level of Kosner Baskonia, who took advantage of the last quarter to wear down the green-and-black team and leave them with no options. "We competed for 30 minutes, but we ended up below the minimums. Our legs and heads failed us against an opponent with more gas," summarized Dani Miret.

Despite the bad omens surrounding them, Barça does not want to throw in the towel prematurely. The blaugrana team overcame a softer UCAM Murcia than imagined (68-91) and will have two opportunities to seal their qualification for the ACB League semifinals. The culé team played a very serious game on a court where no ACB rival had won this 2026.

Valencia Basket exposed the shortcomings of a Barça that will have to play the quarterfinals with home-court advantage against them (77-102). The Catalan team suffered a very painful defeat, bleeding at times, both in form and consequences. The Palau Blaugrana used whistles and some handkerchiefs to criticize the apathy of some players.

A very one-sided Clásico at the Palau Blaugrana. A resurgent Real Madrid, racking up nine consecutive victories in the Liga Endesa, exposed a Barça side that couldn't do more with less (76-95). The Whites highlighted all the shortcomings of a Barça project that doesn't bode well for this season. Their physical superiority translated into dominance on the boards.

Things have changed since Xavi Pascual's return. A lot. A Barça team cruelly punished by injuries pulled off an epic victory against Real Madrid (100-105). The Blaugrana broke a streak of nine consecutive defeats against their eternal rivals. Furthermore, the Catalan side put an end to Real Madrid's record of consecutive victories at the Movistar Arena.

A bitter fifth derby of the season. A Barça team with just nine first-team players competed brilliantly against a more resourceful Real Madrid, who took the victory at the Palau Blaugrana (89-91). The Whites' accuracy in the final 75 seconds decided a derby that was as tense as it was exciting.
