Eventful round in the Spanish league and not only for the tight fight going on for a place in the Cup. Barcelona at the death. Fuenla, DKV and Valencia closing in on cup participation.
Barcelona went close to lose the top spot it so brilliantly won against Real Madrid three days ago. Bilbao dominated for most of the game and was 63-58 up with 1’30 on the clock. Alan Anderson (17pts) made two free-throw, Slovenian Erazem Lorbek added a triple and it was back to square one. Then, Anderson thought it was already time to become a hero in his new club: he went 1-on-1 and drilled the clutch basket, although he received a little help from his pal Lorbek who made sure the score remained unchanged with a block on Hernandez-Sonseca at the buzzer.
Elsewhere, big wins for DKV and Valencia respectively against Unicaja Malaga (89-85) and Cajasol (78-73). Carl English was just unstoppable for DKV with 33 while Rafa Martinez was key for Valencia as he netted
