Hiopos Lleida suffered a narrow 93-90 defeat against Baskonia this March 8th in Vitoria, despite a competitive performance that kept the outcome uncertain until the end.

Coach Gerard Encuentra's squad went head-to-head with the Basque powerhouse throughout the match. Batemon was the standout performer for the visitors, contributing 20 points, 4 rebounds, and 4 assists, while Melvin Ejim added 18 points to the tally.
The game was largely decided at the free-throw line. Baskonia benefited from 30 attempts, converting 26, whereas Hiopos Lleida only had 18 opportunities. This discrepancy proved vital in such a balanced contest where both teams shot over 50% from two-point range.
Despite the loss, the Lleida-based team remains three wins clear of the relegation zone. Their next challenge will be another tough away fixture against Real Madrid next week.
