Juan Nunez enjoyed one of his best performances in a Barcelona jersey, helping the hosts overcome Casademont Zaragoza after a second-half comeback threatened their lead.
Barcelona prevailed 99–81, with Nunez setting personal Liga Endesa bests of 23 points and a performance index rating of 22. Dario Brizuela returned to action with 14 points, while Joel Parra and Justin Robinson were rested.
Leading 48–40 at halftime, Barcelona opened the third quarter with a 14–0 run to move firmly ahead. Zaragoza responded, however, and a 12–2 surge to start the final period cut the gap to 74–69. Minaya, Nkamoua and Nebo then helped restore control, finishing with nine, 14 and 12 points, respectively.
Zaragoza also lost Caleb Homesley after a heavy fall following a blocked shot. He left unable to put weight on the affected leg, adding to the visitors’ injury concerns with Trae Bell-Haynes already sidelined.
