A heartbreaking appearance by the Catalans who did not have their main central, Brandon Davis, and lost a little before the jambola against Nikola Mirotic who asked not to play for an unknown reason until now.
Magnificent performance by Wade Baldwin who made a tremendous career record in points (29) and rating (41), with 7/22 triples closed the game Barcelona that lost the rebounding battle by status.
