The match, played on January 23, was characterized by intense parity and an unusually low score throughout the four quarters. The most dramatic moment occurred with 0.2 seconds remaining and the score tied at 72, when Joventut's top player, Adrián Torres, was fouled by Ferran Torreblanca.
Incredibly, Torres missed both free throws, forcing the game into overtime. This failure proved to be a major psychological blow for Joventut (the Penya), allowing Baxi Manresa to dominate the supplementary period and ultimately win by 80-92.
The first victory of the tournament's second round for Baxi Manresa comes with a significant advantage considering potential future tie-breakers.
In overtime, the decisive performance of Lucas Sánchez and the dominance of Pumarola were crucial. A 2+1 play by Pumarola secured the final lead (76-83). The Manresa squad, led by Nacho Juan, capitalized on their momentum to extend the difference to twelve points, achieving their first win in this phase of the competition.
