Baskonia beat Valencia in Vitoria 71-63 and improved to a 16-6 record in the Spanish league.

Rodrigue Beaubois led the winners with 18 points, while Shane Larkin added 14.

Lucas Sikma and Pierre Oriola scored 13 points each for the visitors.

The first period was rather fruitless for both teams, score wise, as the visitors led 11-12 after 10 minutes in the game. Yet Baskonia grabbed the lead in the second quarter and kept a brief head until halftime, 29-25.

With Sato, Valencia approached made it a 2-point game at 29′, while the Vitoria side was up 49-43 after 30 minutes. At 34′, the hosts had grabbed a 10-point lead, 60-50 and started pulling away from that point on.

Earlier in the day, Real Madrid fell to Tenerife, while Barcelona beat Murcia at home.
