Barcelona – Manresa 95-96: Matsara in Barcelona, ​​17 year old Naji makes an incredible debut

In a great game that was unsuitable for the heart, Manresa was the big winner, beating Barcelona 96-95 in extra time for the postponed game of Liga Endesa game 14. A game starring the 17-year-old great James Naji, who made his Spanish league debut for the Catalans, filled his stats but didn’t combine his appearance with the positive result.

In the fourth quarter Manresa caused the surprise, putting Barcelona under heavy pressure and securing a difference of 10 points with four minutes from time, but Blaugrana reacted and took the lead again.
