Asisa Joventut managed to open a small gap in the scoreboard, coming to dominate by 5 points (35-40), but the offensive inspiration of a fired-up Hughes —author of 14 of the Girona team’s 31 points in the first half— led the local reaction.

The team from Badalona turned the game around in the decisive period, taking the lead, but Bàsquet Girona managed to keep their cool in the crucial moments: the locals reacted in time to reverse the situation and, going from a complicated 72-64 to a final victory by 81-70 in the last sequence of fluid scoring, they certified a hard-earned 82-77 final that allowed them to bid farewell to the season with a big smile.
