After loosing the first game of the series (89-72), Joventut tied the series in the ACB playoffs semifinal, before heading back to Badalona.
Led by a strong performance from Ante Tomic, Badalona secured the win. He finished the game with 24 point and 5 boards on a 10/13 shooting performance against his former club. During this game, Barcelona lost the ball 15 times while Andres Feliz’s teammates turned it over only 9 times. Despite getting out-rebounded 39 to 28, it didn’t have a major impact on the game as they shot over 50% from the field.
