Barça learns the definitive lesson: the ARA's Instant Replay

GironaAfter two defeats as visitors, Barça closed a three-game week with an epic victory on Unicaja's court (89-92). Kendrick Perry missed the three-pointer that would have sent the game to overtime. "We are playing much better and have achieved our first away win in the ACB. We have understood that there is no easy game," said Aleksander Sekulic. The blaugrana team, which had the absences of Gibson, Núñez, Balcerowski, and Makoundou, recovered from a 12-point deficit.

Frustration with the sixth defeat

Kids&Us Manresa could not achieve its first victory in the Liga Endesa, as it lost on the court of Kosner Baskonia (106-83). The team from Bages was winning with 16 minutes left, but ran out of energy. "We played very well for 26 minutes, but after that we collapsed. It is complicated to understand these losses when you are playing well and coming in with good momentum. It is frustrating as a coach," lamented Diego Ocampo.

Joventut, far from what it wants to be

Asisa Joventut could not get rid of Surne Bilbao at the Palau Olímpic (78-81). Emir Sulejmanovic and Nico Laprovittola missed three-pointers in the final seconds and the Penya could not even shoot in the final action. "We are far from what we want to be. What has happened is negative," opined Dani Miret, who gave Nikola Radicevic his debut. Ante Tomic, on the other hand, still did not reappear and Real Madrid wants to recover Eli Ndiaye.

Hard Saturday to digest

Bitter Saturday for Bàsquet Girona and iLerna Lleida. The team coached by Moncho Fernández lost on the court of Casademont Zaragoza (107-78). "When we saw that the difference was very difficult to recover, we gave up," admitted the Galician coach. The squad managed by Gerard Encuentra was surpassed by UCAM Murcia (125-98). "The summary is that without defense it is impossible," lamented the Catalan coach.
