Spar Girona lost their six-game winning streak this Saturday after an 83-79 overtime defeat against Perfumeria Avenida in Salamanca.

The team from Girona controlled the game for thirty minutes, reaching a significant 49-61 lead. However, physical fatigue and a strong comeback by the home side forced the game into overtime after Coulibaly missed two crucial free throws in the final seconds of regulation time.
In the extra period, Avenida showed greater defensive strength. Despite Jocyte briefly putting Girona ahead, the local team secured the victory. This result leaves Spar Girona tied at the top of the league table with Casademont Zaragoza.
