Barça's agonizing 79-80 victory on the San Pablo Burgos court provided relief for Baxi Manresa's interests. The game was decided six seconds from the end thanks to a shot by Laprovittola, who finished the match with 23 points, neutralizing the strong start by the home team (17-5).
This result keeps the Bages team, which recently suffered a heavy defeat against Baskonia, three wins away from the relegation zone. Burgos remains with only three victories, while Manresa has six.
The matchday was generally favorable for Baxi Manresa due to other direct rivals' defeats. On Saturday, Andorra (sixteenth) fell against Breogán and the bottom-placed Granada lost against Unicaja.
The defeat of Casademont Zaragoza, which stays on six wins, by 90-84 on the UCAM Murcia court was also positive. However, Girona's 71-74 victory against Joventut Badalona did not favor the interests of the Manresa side.
