At the Pazo Provincial dos Deportes de Lugo, Sarunas Jasikevicius’s team had to sign their biggest acb comeback (18 at half-time and 22 after the start of the second half) to beat the Galician team and thus mathematically seal their first place in regular league.
In addition to Abrines, the game’s top scorer, the Catalans relied on Brandon Davies, who was the most prominent with 11 points and a PIR of 20 in a match where Nikola Mirotic was absent due to rest. Jasikevicius assured at the end of the game that “with this basketball” they will not be able to win the Euroleague.
