Overview

  • Unicaja Málaga dominated Game 2 at Barcelona’s Palau Blaugrana, winning 81-59 to level the best-of-three quarterfinal series 1-1.
  • Guard Kendrick Perry overcame late-game errors in the opener to spark Unicaja’s offense with a strong all-around performance.
  • The visitors shot efficiently from beyond the arc and controlled the glass, while Barcelona managed just five three-pointers and struggled defensively.
  • Barcelona’s offense faltered under pressure, as poor shooting and defensive lapses negated coach Joan Peñarroya’s midgame adjustments.
  • A winner-take-all Game 3 is set for Sunday at 18:30 CEST in Málaga’s Martín Carpena and will be broadcast live on Movistar.
