The defeat of Spar Girona on the Galatasaray court reflected an afternoon of poor competitiveness, where the Girona team trailed by as much as 28 points (60-32). Despite a late reaction that narrowed the score to 67-57, the damage was done early, with the game breaking after the 10-10 mark in the first quarter.

This result forces the Uni to play a three-game playoff series against the powerful Fenerbahçe, the leader of the other group. The decisive matches are scheduled for February 18 and 25, and, if necessary, March 3, to determine who advances directly to the semifinals of the Final Six in Zaragoza.

Roberto Íñiguez's team displayed a very poor outside shooting percentage (1/12 by the third quarter) and was overwhelmed by the inside game of players like Juhasz and Kuier. Actions such as the inexplicable miss by Lola Pendande alone under the basket symbolized the team's disconnection, which failed to offer the expected resistance.

Despite the setback, Spar Girona had already secured their spot thanks to the historic qualification for the Final Six sealed a week earlier at Fontajau. This loss is seen as a valuable lesson for the future, as the team now travels directly to Madrid to face Leganés over the weekend.
