abr 06 2026Leyma Coruña faced a trap game in Torrelavega before the crucial Galician derby for promotion, and Carles Marco's men delivered a victory to pile pressure on their neighbors Monbus Obradoiro. Meanwhile, Diego Epifanio's squad showed nerves of steel against Súper Agropal Palencia, dominating from the opening moments in a decisive performance.
The league leaders Leyma Coruña needed to win in Torrelavega to arrive at next week's Galician derby with their advantage intact, and Carles Marco's squad would not fail in a demanding encounter that would transfer all the pressure back to their pursuers. The Monbus Obradoiro players would not give an inch against a Súper Agropal Palencia side that was clearly outmatched by Diego Epifanio's team.
Leyma Coruña knew well that their visit to Torrelavega in the week before the derby would be far from straightforward, but Carles Marco made sure his players understood the mission and took to the court fully focused on their objective. Mus Barro demonstrated this intent early on, finding the lane to dunk over giant Yu and put his team on the board. The action set the tone against Grupo Alega Cantabria, who resisted through Lapornik's accuracy and Samu Rodríguez's effort, but could never turn the scoreboard in their favor. Didac Cuevas surprised with a 16-meter three-pointer, and a solid Caio Pacheco in orchestrating play closed out the game to provide comfort to the solid leaders (79-88).
An evenly-matched contest unfolded at the Ángel Nieto in Zamora between Flexicar Fuenlabrada, where Augusto Lima made his debut in the paint, and Caja Rural Zamora, who knew how to wait for their moment to strike again in the league before their home crowd. Saulo Hernández's team managed to keep the game tied with 30 seconds remaining, initiating a chess match from which they would emerge victorious. Vitor Benite started with a basket that looked like a winner, but a Van Zegeren alley-oop tied the game in a clash that Mateo Díaz tried to decide with two free throws. The game came down to its final possession, with the ball in the hands of Ty Roberts, who would not miss from 6.75 meters to flip the scoreboard. A game that left the final possession to Flexicar Fuenlabrada, but some traveling calls prevented a possible final shot, leaving the victory at home (80-79).
Saturday's action was completed from Mahón, where Hestia Menorca cut short their losing streak against Grupo Ureta Tizona, who resisted alongside their rival during the first half before beginning to give ground after the break. A game in which Vicedo and Littleson did significant damage from beyond the arc to secure a home victory that increased their playoff promotion hopes (88-70).
On Sunday morning, Movistar Estudiantes recovered their essence at the Movistar Arena to get back to winning ways. A game that brought Hugo López back home after his return last weekend following three months of injury, and in which Jayson Granger used his experience to help his team overcome a fighting Grupo Caesa Cartagena. A team that resisted until the end but could not contain the magic of the Uruguayan point guard, who sealed the victory with his play (90-84). The morning was marked by parity, as evidenced in the match at the Palacio de los Deportes in Oviedo, where Dan Duskac's work on the boards proved key for the home side to overcome HLA Alicante in a coin-flip finish, with fortune giving the locals their seventh consecutive win (76-74).
In the afternoon, Melilla Ciudad del Deporte and Palmer Basket Mallorca again shook up the fight for survival with victories before their home crowds to fuel their objectives. First with Rafa Sanz's side triumphing over Inveready Gipuzkoa in the best performance of the season for the Melilla squad (73-54), and later with the Balearic Islanders' victory over Cloud.Gal Ourense in a game marked by the hosts' accuracy from mid-range (72-56).
Sunday closed with the standout game of the round, in which Monbus Obradoiro really blew open their clash against Súper Agropal Palencia early. Diego Epifanio's team set the pace quickly to surprise their opponent after an initial exchange of blows, and through a second quarter in which they took control on both ends of the floor. A game in which the collective shone again, and in which Súper Agropal Palencia could do little to get back into the contest (81-53).
