The players coached by Diego Ocampo scored the first five points of the game, giving them a slight lead. At the end of a fast-paced first quarter, the visitors held a slim advantage (16-17).
The second quarter followed a similar pattern: a balanced game, with Manresa ahead on the scoreboard. At halftime, the Bages team, displaying excellent defense, led by six points (28-34).
Coming out of the locker room, it seemed the visitors were still in control, but the Aragonese team responded, scoring nine consecutive points to take the lead (44-41). However, Manresa remained composed, rallied, and finished the third quarter with a six-point advantage (56-62).
In the final ten minutes, the Bages team continued to play a focused game, extending their lead to a maximum of eighteen points (66-84). This proved to be the final blow for the home team, who were unable to recover and could not prevent Ocampo's men from securing their fifth victory of the season in the Liga Endesa.
On Tuesday at 8:00 PM, BAXI Manresa will close out the 2025 season on the challenging court of one of the Eurocup title contenders, Israel's Hapoel Midtown Jerusalem.
