Edy Tavares was decisive.

A youth with personality loses the duel of undefeated teams

The duel of unbeatens had a local flavor. A cruel third quarter ended Joventut's hopes on Valencia Basket's court (102-90). After a very strong first half, La Penya ran out of steam. Cameron Hunt's performance, which included 28 points on 7/10 three-pointers, wasn't enough at the Roig Arena. "We were consistent and competitive, but we still have some room for improvement," said Dani Miret.

An unexpected example at Can Barça

Barça took advantage of the match against Río Breogán (100-85) to regain their momentum at the Palau Blaugrana. Joan Peñarroya cited Myles Cale as an example. "He's a player we signed to do the dirty work. We needed a player with these characteristics who always contributes. He's an example of what we want, a focused player who's always prepared," he said. Hiopos Lleida, meanwhile, dispatched Coviran Granada (99-90) and has an encouraging 3-1 record.
