Barça 75-90 Bayern Munich: Series all square

Defeat for the blaugranes in the Palau in second game of the Euroleague quarter final play off. Saras Jasikevicius' team lost 90-75 against Bayern Munich as the tie moves to German soil next week.

Visitors dominate 

10 unanswered points from Munich's Thomas at the start of the second quarter was not a good omen and at one point Bayern lead by +16 at 47-31. Nevertheless, the half ended with the lead cut to 48-35.
