Barcelona failed to secure a win in the tenth round of the Spanish Liga Endesa. Blaugrana lost to Murcia with a score of 82-73.
The hosts had a better start, leading 23-20 after the first ten minutes. However, Roger Grimau’s team played a better second quarter, winning it 18-12, and went into halftime with a lead of 38-35.
Barcelona took a seven-point lead at the beginning of the third quarter. However, Murcia didn’t give up. Sito Alonso’s team prevented the current Spanish champion from pulling away. This was evident until the very end. Murcia initiated an 8-0 run and eventually secured a well-deserved victory.
Barcelona is now tied for the second spot and failed to capitalize on Real Madrid’s slip, as they lost for the first time this season to Unicaja, with whom Barcelona now shares the second position. Dylan Ennis, a former player of Crvena Zvezda, stood out as the top performer for the blue and red.
