Expect maximum intensity from an all-Spanish showdown as Baskonia (9-14) looks to boost its fading playoff ambitions against an equally hungry Barcelona (13-10).
Game Facts: Baskonia vs. Barcelona

The visiting team – led by former Baskonia coach Joan Penarroya – needs to bounce back from last week’s loss at ASVEL, where the Blaugrana’s occasional tendency to lapse into leaky defense again resurfaced with 100 points conceded. A key battle will take place at power forward between Chima Moneke and Jabari Parker: the Baskonia star continued his great season with a double-double of 14 points and 10 boards in last week’s heartbreaking last-second loss at Real, while Parker again demonstrated his shooting power with 18 points on 5-of-7 three-point shooting in the loss at ASVEL. Barca also needs to contain Nikos Rogkavopoulos, who has two double-doubles in his last four games.
