Swept in three games in the Spanish league final last season by Vitoria when most expected Barcelona to dominate, the Catalans took their revenge in the semi-final series this time around. They responded tit for tat with a sweep of their own culminated on a 71-61 victory in Game 3. Juan Carlos Navarro (13) and Alan Anderson (12) led the offence once again, while the trio of guards Ricky-Lakovic-Sada combined for 11 assists.
