By Eurohoops team / info@eurohoops.net

Barcelona beat Valencia 79–74 after getting also a win against the same opponent in the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague and improved to a 7-2 record. Both teams are tied in the second spot in the standings together with Fuenlabrada and Obradoiro.

Kevin Seraphin and Rakim Sanders paced the “Blaugranas” with 19 and 16 points respectively, including decisive buckets.

Thanks to a great second quarter (24-13), the hosts went to the locker room with an eight-point lead (37 – 29). Valencia managed to make the comeback and the score was close (66-64) with four minutes left.

With less than twenty seconds remaining, Thomas Heurtel sealed the game for Barcelona with an easy but crucial layup. The French point guard contributed 12 points, 5 rebounds, and 5 assists.

Erick Green was once again the leading scorer of the game, finishing with 24 points. Tibor Pleiss added a double-double for Valencia (14+10).

Earlier today, Baskonia crushed San Pablo Burgos on the road with a 100 – 76 victory to conclude its perfect week. Meanwhile, Unicaja suffered its fifth lost game in ACB after trailing in Andorra with 66 – 60. Yesterday, Real Madrid destroyed winless Betis on the road.
