Barcelona blew out CAI Zaragoza 107 – 88 to capture its 20th win out of 23 games this season in the Spanish ACB League. The losing side dropped to 10 – 15.
Brandon Davies (20 points, eight rebounds), Adam Hanga (17 points on 4-5 3-pointers) and Nikola Mirotic (15 points, seven rebounds) led an overall powerful offensive effort for Barcelona that was without star guard Nick Calathes. The Blaugrana began assuming control of the game in the second period to close halftime up 55 – 44 and completely overpowered its opponents in the fourth quarter to turn the match into a rout.
Dylan Ennis’ (27 points, four steals) and Jacob Wiley’s (14 points) efforts weren’t enough for Zaragoza that was competitive for 30 minutes but became unable to keep up with its opponents down the stretch.
