Barça have lost at home to Asvel in a game that went right down to the wire. leaving them 9-3 in the EuroLeague regular season
Dominating offensive rebounds, the French side got off to the stronger start, leading by seven at one point of the first period.
A 6-0 streak showed that the Catalans had finally woken up, and they had a lot to thank Kyle Kuric for as they went in for the break with a six-goal cushion 46-40.
In the third period, it looked like showtime had kicked in, and a spectacular Barça powered to +11, but Asvel refused to cave in and instead gradually started cutting away at the deficit.
With five minutes to go, they were level, and the end game was absolutely frenetic, with both sides having chances to win before De Colo broke Barça's hearts with his score in the very last instant.
Next up for Barça is a road trip to Rio Breogán for a Sunday league fixture. That one starts at 5pm CET.
