Barça wins amid a sea of tears: ARA's Instant Replay
The blaugrana team certifies Coviran Granada's relegation
BarcelonaBarça did not get entangled by a much improved Coviran Granada (98-101). The bottom of the Liga Endesa, who could not avoid relegation, forced the Blaugrana team to play with concentration until the end. Xavi Pascual could not count on Tomás Satoransky, Will Clyburn or Jan Vesely, who on Tuesday announced he will retire at the end of the season. The local fans bid farewell to their players in tears.
The Hiopos Lleida, without the necessary desire
Hiopos Lleida suffered a very painful defeat on the court of Rio Breogan (114-87). The Catalan team, which at one point trailed by 30 points, experienced a nightmare at the Pazo Provincial dos Deportes in Lugo. The two teams combined for 59 assists. "The game has little history. The opponent had more energy, accuracy, and desire than us. We have to try to turn the page quickly, our mentality was not adequate," lamented Gerard Encuentra.
Baxi Manresa extends its miracle
Baxi Manresa secured the victory on Wednesday, the basket average, and permanence on the court of Bàsquet Girona (74-79). A final comeback led by Ferran Bassas and Agustín Ubal served to certify the visiting triumph. The defensive level of the Bagense team was decisive. "Permanence is important for the fans, but we take it day by day. Our focus is on training and playing well," summarized Diego Ocampo.
La Penya, without their Croatian beacon
Asisa Joventut opens against MoraBanc Andorra a final stretch of the season in which qualifying for the top six is the main objective. La Penya, who has won 11 of the 14 games played at home, wants to make the Palau Olímpic a fortress. Dani Miret will not be able to count on Ante Tomic, who will miss the rest of the season due to the injury he suffers in the hamstrings of his right leg. "Our objective was to finish in the Top 4, but it will not be possible," lamented Michael Ruzic.
