Returning from the locker rooms, the tone was one of equality between the two sets, and this favored a home team that was always ahead, albeit with short advantages. At the end of the third quarter, 74-68 and all to decide in the last ten minutes.

In these, neither team was able to break the duel, and this had to be decided in a new final friction. Then, Maye had three free throws to tie a few seconds before the end, but could only score one, and this took advantage of Breogán to leave the victory in Galicia.

After two consecutive games away from home, BAXI Manresa will play again in front of their fans on Sunday from 20:00 in the visit of UCAM Murcia.
