Barca laid the foundation for victory in the third quarter, winning it by 11 points (23-12).

Before that, Sarunas Jasikevicius' squad had a successful stretch at the end of the second period, finishing it with a 15-5 spurt.

Rokas Jokubaitis was a leader of Barcelona. He finished the game with 22 points (6/6 2PT, 2/4 3PT), 1 rebound, and 1 assist.

"It was a pretty good game for us. The first half was not so good, but in the second half we played very aggressive defense and that led us to a great offense. Our leaders got a little rest today (Higgins did not travel to Bilbao). The result is very good," said Jokubaitis after the game.

"I need to show the coaches that I can play. I feel great right now. These two last games have been amazing, but tomorrow is a new day, and Thursday we will play again. You need to prove it every day," the Lithuanian guard added.

Angel Delgado led the way for Bilbao Basket. He posted 15 points and 4 rebounds.

Barcelona: Rokas Jokubaitis 22, Nikola Mirotic 14 (5 REB), Rolands Smits 9 (5 REB), Nick Calathes 8 (3 AST).

Bilbao Basket: Angel Delgado 15 (4 REB), Andrew Goudelock 14 (4 REB), Ludvig Hakanson 9 (4 REB), Rafa Luz 7.
