Barcelona won in Milan (88-98) and retains all the options to be among the best, although a triple implausible Tonut about the horn, leaves him behind in the basketball average with the Italian team, a minor issue when it comes to winning a game, unless the two teams end up tied. At the moment, the Catalans are ahead. They still have to play against Fenerbahçe in Istanbul and at home in front of Baskonia. A victory allows you to be among the best eight at the end of the regular league, because none of those below the tenth position could reach it.
Darío Brizuela’s stellar performance (27 points), which only left the game for a while for a blow that caused a gap, was decisive within a choral performance, in one of the best versions of Joan Peñarroya’s team away from home. Next to him, with 25 points. Barça scored 14 triples and that well -executed exterior shot gave him peace of mind to send throughout the game. Parker, who began very well, was diluted with the passage of the minutes, although that did not influence the passing of the game, which was always inclined towards the Barcelona side.
Brizuela went to the court with her hot hand, and turned every shot into the basket. 5 of 8 in two shots, the same numbers in triple, so his teammates were looking for him, in a game in which he also highlighted Dame Sarr’s courage, who played with an unusual personality for an 18 -year -old boy, who will not be able to go to Nike Hoop Summit, the annual match among the best players of his age, which is celebrated in Portland. He has not given the permission to the view that he has the template in precarious and each player who is in good condition is important.
Although, on the local side, he also offered a solid version of himself, without too many alharacas, but with very serious numbers – 28 points and 9 rebounds – he did not have too much company on his team. Every time Ettore Messina gave her a break on the bench, Barcelona took the opportunity to stretch the score. He had 20 points of difference in the absence of six minutes, but the final arreón of the Milanese team made up the result. Tonut triple avoided the full party. A two -point Basket of Jabari Parker matched the marker of the Palau match, was a second, and the band of band to the desperate Emporio Armani was on the side, at the hands of the Italian player, who made a maneuver in the air to launch without thinking and scored.
