Óscar Amo also did a lot of damage in the paint (11 points and 5 rebounds in Ecuador) and he could not be contained. At half-time, the Barcelona team had a +6 lead (33-39). The passage through the locker room has revitalized Basketball Girona who, in addition to adjusting the defense and controlling the rebound more, have begun to take control of the situation, printing speed in their game and finding easy baskets (56- 47 at the end of the third quarter). The Barcelona players did not give up, but the team remained calm under the direction of Xavi Costa and a three-pointer by Valera 47 seconds from the end (68-60) left the visitors with no chance.
