With a goal from SEF, Baskonia destroyed the disappointing Catalans

An incredible performance on Wednesday evening (11/15) by Baskonia, who scored a double to beat Barcelona 94:71 in the EuroLeague Matchday 8 game at the Peace and Friendship Stadium.

Dusko Ivanovic’s Basques rose to 4-4 (2-3 home and 2-1 away) and again had limited rotation, but this time Marcus Howard and Cody Miller-McIntyre were in amazing form, while Cima Moneke and Tadas were on Sedekerskis had a double-double with 9 points and 12 rebounds.

Barcelona lost 2-6 (4-0 home and 2-2 away), with Roger Grimaud learning a good lesson from the opposing manager and only Oscar Da Silva showing a competitive face in the first half. The Catalans lacked the wing defense they needed, Billy Hernangomet stayed deep, Jabari Parker even deeper and their night was truly a nightmare.
