FC Barcelona claimed a convincing 62–89 win over BAXI Manresa at the Nou Congost to extend their winning streak in the Liga Endesa to six matches across the Liga and EuroLeague, delivering a strong all-round performance built on defensive solidity. Dario Brizuela led the way with 22 points, setting the tone for a dominant display that left the hosts with few answers.

Barça imposed a high tempo and intense defence from the outset. Despite some early shooting inaccuracies and the absence of Vesely, the team remained composed, with Brizuela influential both as a scorer and organiser. Control of the pace and effective inside play allowed the visitors to close the first quarter seven ahead (21–28) and reach half-time having opened the gap in further to 13 (37–50).

After the break, rather than rest on their laurels, Barça stepped up another gear. A Brizuela triple sparked a strong third quarter, with big contributions from Norris, Fall and Juani Marcos pushing the lead beyond 15 points (54–71).

The advantage continued to grow in the final period, as Punter from long range and a Marcos–Keita alley-oop highlighted Barça’s authority on both ends of the court. The 62–89 final score reflected their clear superiority and underlined the team’s confidence heading into the next fixtures.
