Joventut Badalona earned a 96-88 road win over Baskonia in ACB play, closing out an eight-point victory in a game that featured efficient scoring and strong perimeter production. The final score showed Joventut’s ability to generate enough offense over 40 minutes, despite Baskonia getting multiple double-digit scoring contributions from its rotation.

Baskonia was led by Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot, who finished with 15 points, while Trent Forrest added 14 points. Mamadi Diakite contributed 12 points, Rodions Kurucs scored 11, and Matteo Spagnolo added 9, giving Baskonia balanced offensive production but not enough stops to overturn the result.

Joventut’s outside shooting was a major factor, as Badalona connected on 14 three-pointers on 29 attempts. Baskonia shot efficiently inside the arc and finished 20-for-34 on field goals listed in the team statistics, but Joventut’s volume and accuracy from long range helped create the separation reflected in the final margin.

The result gives Joventut Badalona an important ACB win, particularly valuable away from home against a strong opponent. For Baskonia, the performance included encouraging individual scoring and efficient stretches, but the defeat underlined the need to defend the three-point line more consistently and finish key possessions late in close games.
