Joventut Badalona earned an 81–69 home win over Baskonia in ACB play, controlling the game with efficient offense and steadier execution on both ends. Joventut shot 24-of-44 from the field (55.0%) and consistently found quality looks, while Baskonia struggled to match that efficiency at 16-of-38 (42.0%). The hosts’ balanced scoring led the way. Michael Ruzic paced Joventut with 18 points, with Jabari Parker adding 16 and Ricky Rubio contributing 14 to keep the offense organized and productive. Adam Hanga chipped in 12 points, giving Joventut a fourth double-figure scorer and helping maintain momentum through key stretches. Baskonia leaned on Trent Forrest, who led them with 12 points, but overall shot-making was an issue despite hitting seven threes (7-of-27). While Baskonia held a slight edge on the glass (37–35), they couldn’t translate those extra possessions into enough points, and their 10 assists underscored the difficulty generating consistent offense. Going forward, Joventut can take confidence from the combination of high-percentage shooting and multiple reliable scoring options, along with 17 team assists that reflected strong ball movement. For Baskonia, the priority is improving offensive flow and efficiency—especially in the half court—so that rebounding advantages and perimeter volume can turn into more sustainable scoring.
