Asisa Joventut extended their Liga Endesa winning streak to six games on Sunday with a 92-84 victory over a fighting Dreamland Gran Canaria, boosting morale ahead of the crucial EuroLeague Champions League quarterfinal against Greek AEK, with uncertainty surrounding Ante Tomic.

La Laguna Tenerife Dominates Casademont Zaragoza (99-76)

La Laguna Tenerife dominated Casademont Zaragoza 99-76 on Sunday in a game the Canary Islands squad controlled from the opening tip against a highly inconsistent opponent.

Kosner Baskonia, led by an outstanding Trent Forrest (21 points) and Luwawu-Cabarrot (20 points), defeated MoraBanc Andorra 79-88, keeping them in the relegation zone ahead of two consecutive road games.

Baskonia's performance overshadowed a spectacular showing from Ukrainian center Artem Pustovyi, who recorded 23 points, 13 rebounds, and a 35 efficiency rating.

Valencia Strikes After Halftime and Stops Burgos Rally (74-79)

Valencia Basket earned a solid road victory at San Pablo Burgos (74-79) by imposing their dominance in the second half, led by the accuracy of Badio and De Larrea and the interior presence of Reuvers.

After an even first half, the visitors broke the game open in the third quarter with a crucial run and managed Burgos's late comeback attempt, which brought them within four points but fell short of completing the rally.

Barcelona Convinces at Home and Defeats Unicaja (97-91)

Barcelona overcame a tenacious Unicaja (97-91), who showed remarkable resilience, securing their sixteenth victory to solidify their position among the Liga Endesa top eight.

The Blaugrana dominated early with a 40-22 lead (14th minute), but the visitors refused to quit and stayed in the game. It wasn't until the final minutes that Barcelona sealed the win thanks to a late surge from the duo of Jan Vesely (18 points) and Darío Brizuela (17).
