Bàsquet Girona secured its eighth victory of the season yesterday against Casademont Zaragoza, officially closing the team's best first half performance in the ACB league history.

The team led by Moncho Fernández prevailed at the Príncipe Felipe Pavilion in Zaragoza with a tight score of 90-94, in a match defined by the Catalans' success from beyond the arc (16 three-pointers made). This victory, the third away from Fontajau in 2026, marks a significant milestone for the club.
The key to the Girona comeback, after trailing by 14 points, was the stellar performance of Mark Hughes. The guard broke his personal record in the ACB with 24 points, including an impressive 5 of 6 from three-point range.
Despite the strong resistance from Casademont Zaragoza, led by Santi Yusta (27 points) and Devin Robinson (18 points), Bàsquet Girona managed to seal the win in the decisive moments.
The contribution of Otis Livingston was crucial in the final stretch, scoring five consecutive points that created a differential advantage. Subsequently, a three-pointer by Mindaugas Susinskas effectively ended the game with 122 seconds remaining.
