Baxi Manresa achieved its sixth Eurocup victory on Wednesday, defeating Slask Wroclaw 90-96 on their home court, demonstrating significant resilience and comeback ability after a slow start.

The win, achieved by improving throughout the game, places Diego Ocampo's team in an optimal classification position. The performances of key players like Pierre Oriola and Agustín Ubal were crucial in turning the score around, especially in the second half.
The match started with Eli Brooks debuting as a starter, alongside Max Gaspà, Álex Reyes, Louis Olinde, and Pierre Oriola. Although the visitors stayed close initially, Slask Wroclaw capitalized on rotations and defensive issues, notably from Grant Golden, to take a significant lead at halftime (54-43).
Baxi Manresa's reaction came in the third quarter, driven by more intense defense and accurate three-point shooting from Ubal, Brooks, and Rein Obasohan. Oriola became vital, tying the score at 61 and subsequently giving the team its first lead of the entire game, closing the period 64-64.
The final period remained tense, but the initiative belonged to the Manresa side. Despite a momentary injury to Pierre Oriola, the team maintained composure. Decisive plays by Obasohan, Reyes, and an excellent Agustín Ubal allowed Baxi Manresa to secure their sixth Eurocup victory by 90-96.
