Sad day in Granada. Alicante won the do-or-die battle 71-57 and sent Granada into the lower division. On Sunday, if Manresa was to beat Menorca, currently last from bottom, Alicante would be safe and stay in the ACB next season. In the other two games played Saturday night, Valencia consolidated its third place thanks to a 87-74 victory in Madrid against Estudiantes as all ten players scored at least 4 points. Javtokas and Cook had 13 each. Finally, third road win of the day with Bilbao coming back from Sevilla with a 83-78 triumph. Alex Hervelle led the winners with 15 points. Bilbao made a step closer to fifth place while Cajasol has lost any possibility to reach the playoffs.
