In Valencia, the battles of the renewed Spanish championship ended, with Barcelona and Vitoria Baskonia facing the final.

Catalans buzzed in the market last summer and were considered favorites. 67:69 (16:17, 23:16, 12:18, 16:18) landed on the Basques.

The Vitoria club attacked the problem until a long break when it hit just one in three points out of ten. Meanwhile, already in the first minutes of the third quarter, Luca Vildoza struck twice from a distance and the result was the same: 41:41.

The tense fight became decisive moments: there were three minutes left in the game, the result was the same again (64:64). Catalan affairs were also complicated by the fact that Nikola Mirotičius received the fifth offense. It is true that the unsuspecting Spanish ended the game with a negative utility score.

With 10 seconds to play, Baskonia went ahead at 67:65, but Pierre Oriola equalized with a free kick. After a one-minute break, L. Vildoza was able to score and allowed the Barcelona players to respond for 3 seconds (69:67). However, Cory Higgins’ decisive shot flew by and the title went to the Basques.

Lithuanian “Baskonia” Tadas Sedekerskis was registered for the match, but did not appear on the parquet.

Barcelona: Thomas Heurtel 21 (4 reb., 5 res.), Cory Higgins 14 (2/8 points), Kyle Kuric and Nikola Mirotičius 8 (4/13 shots).

Basque Country: Luca Vildoza 17, Tornike Shengelia 14 (1/6 three points), Ilimane Diopas 10 (7th rev.), Shavon Shields 9 (1/6 three points), Matt Janning 8.
