The game was decided in just ten minutes spanning two quarters. Until then, Leyma Coruña had held on thanks to Tomas Dimsa, who opened the night with three perfect three-pointers and kept his team in a 17-14 scoreline that suggested a competitive matchup. What followed was a 0-11 run that made it 17-25. The Coliseum felt the warning, and the second quarter confirmed it.
Casademont Zaragoza found an unusual level of precision for October during that stretch. They reached halftime shooting 8 of 9 from three-point range and distributed the offensive load so effectively that Leyma didn't know who to defend. Justin Jaworski and Homesley punished from beyond the arc, Birutis dominated in the paint, and the Zaragoza bench outscored the Coruña bench by nearly double. The second quarter ended 11-29, and the scoreboard read 28-52 at the break: a 24-point lead heading into halftime.
Carles Marco looked for answers from the bench without finding them. Alonzo Verge, the player expected to lead the team, couldn't get into the game. After halftime, the deficit continued to grow to 32 points (30-62).
From that point on, Casademont Zaragoza eased off. The third quarter went to Leyma (22-15), who trimmed the scoreline to 50-67, but the lead was too large for the finish to have any drama. Jacobo Díaz and Radoncic brought energy in the fourth quarter and the Galicians closed the gap, without ever threatening a rival that takes home its second victory of the season.
Casademont Zaragoza finished 15 of 22 from three-point range with five players scoring over eight points. Birutis, with 14 points and a 23 efficiency rating, was the inside presence the team needed with such accurate outside shooting.
