Nikola Radicevic was the hero of the day for Bilbao Basket. The Serbian point guard made one of the biggest shots of his career so far as Bilbao shocked Barcelona in Round 26 of ACB winning the game 82-80.
In one of the best games of the weekend, Bilbao managed to prevail over Barcelona which entered the last period leading, but ultimately lost the game on the last shot.
Radicevic finished the game with 11 points. Adam Smith had 22 for Bilbaoo, while Alex Abrines scored 17 points for Barcelona.
To make things even better for the Serbian, eight of his 11 points came in the last minute of the game.
