The team led by Roberto Íñiguez concluded an excellent week with a new victory at Fontajau, just days after securing their qualification for the Euroleague Final Six. This win against Estepona, important in itself, gained special significance when combined with Zaragoza's defeat in Valencia (67-72), allowing the Girona side to draw level with their rivals at the top of the standings.
The Girona team took to the court with the clear objective of seizing this golden opportunity. From the first minute, successful three-pointers by players like Jocyte and Bibby, coupled with solid defense, quickly opened up an 18-point gap (30-12) by the end of the first quarter. The momentum was maintained thanks to Coulibaly's superiority in the paint and collective offensive success, reaching halftime with a 28-point lead (56-28), effectively sealing the game.
The victory culminates a perfect week for the team, which has demonstrated that the demands of competing midweek and weekend do not hinder their maximum level performance.
In the second half, the team maintained dominance, exceeding a 30-point difference. Several players stood out in scoring, with Bibby (18 points), Jocyte (15), and Carter (11) as the top scorers. In the final moments, coach Íñiguez took the opportunity to give minutes to players like Anna Badosa and Berta Ribas, who enjoyed the warmth of the Fontajau crowd on a perfect afternoon for Girona sports.
