Barça 92-63 UCAM Murcia: A perfect January

Barça's win over UCAM Murcia (92-63) made it a perfect 10 in January 2021. The Catalans were always in control against visitors who battled gamely but were well beaten in the end. 

Disputed start

Despite a good start from the visitors Barça began to find their rhythm, and with Sergi Martínez in particularly good form in both defence and attack, the hosts opened up a 20-11 lead. However, Murcia reacted in the second period and managed to turn the score around, albeit a triple from Hanga at the buzzer allowed Barça to go in ahead at the break (37-36).

No options

The second half was all Barça, leaving the Murcian attack with no options to get back into the game. The Catalans only conceded nine points throughout the third quarter, and went into the last quarter with an insurmountable 17-point lead (62-45). In the end, Barça won by 36 points to end up taking the victory by a convincing 92-63 margin.
