Barça arrived shorthanded without Toko Shengelia, Jan Vesely, and Nicolas Laprovittola, plus facing Paris is never an easy task.
Still, even that potentially tricky scenario posed no real threat to Xavi Pascual’s side.
The blaugrana completely dictated the pace of the game, cruising to a comfortable 85–69 victory that improves their record to 11–5, while Paris Basketball drops to 5–11.
Kevin Punter led the scoring once again with 21 points, while Will Clyburn delivered a dominant all-around performance, finishing with 19 points and 12 rebounds. Dario Brizuela added 18 points off the bench, and Willy Hernangómez also made a strong impact with 13 points.
For the hosts, Nadir Hifi was the top scorer with 16 points, but Allan Dokossi earned home MVP honors after posting 14 points and 9 rebounds.
Barça set the tone early with a commanding 30–13 first quarter, building a lead they would never relinquish.
The visitors continued to assert their dominance as the game progressed, heading into halftime with a comfortable 23-point advantage (52-29).
The second half proved to be little more than a formality. Although Paris Basketball continued to fight, Barça’s superiority was evident, as they calmly closed out a well-earned win.
