Micah Speight Leads Monbus Obradoiro Past Hestia Menorca in Overtime Thriller (100-86)
feb 10 2026Monbus Obradoiro hosted the hottest team in the competition on this midweek matchday. Hestia Menorca arrived at Fontes do Sar riding a six-game winning streak, with Fer Zurbriggen and Thad McFadden as the main protagonists of their run. The team coached by Javi Zamora had already beaten the Santiago side in the first matchday on the island and has established itself as one of the most powerful teams in the competition with the arrival of new signings, especially Argentine point guard Zurbriggen, who is averaging 20.9 rating points. The first news of the game came before it even started, as the rim on the basket where Epi's team attacks had to be changed, causing a 30-minute delay to the start.
Monbus Obradoiro's offense struggles early, but the bench rallies (19-22)
After each team missed their opening possession, the scoreboard was opened with what has become a classic: a basket from Felipe Dos Anjos in the paint. Menorca's first came from a play between two former teammates, with Zurbriggen assisting Vicedo for the three-pointer. The play repeated itself and the versatile Estudiantes academy product hit again from beyond the arc for 2-6. Barrueta attacked the offensive rebound to draw a foul, but made only one of his free throws. Zurbriggen continued leading the visiting offense and this time won the one-on-one battle against his former Fuenlabrada teammate Leo Westermann. Arteaga and Dos Anjos exchanged baskets in the paint. McFadden made his first appearance with a three-pointer to confirm Balearic dominance (5-13). The ACB and European basketball classic prompted Epi's first timeout after another three-pointer. Barcello broke the cold streak with two free throws. Barrueta added the ninth point for the home team and Zamora called timeout. McFadden responded to his coach's instructions with another three-pointer. Dos Anjos returned to the free throw line and missed one. A dunk from Wembi added insult to injury until Brito sutured it slightly with the first three-pointer for Galicia. Kravic scored two straight baskets to finally speak of a comeback, which Andersson confirmed by finishing a perfectly executed fast break with a great dunk. The Sar crowd was in Caldeira mode and pressured the referees over a foul, from which Wembi made only one free throw.
McFadden maintains the visiting lead with three-pointers (42-47)
McFadden showed he was in "killer" mode today with a big basket to open the second quarter. The Galicians stalled on offense again and Zurbriggen extended the lead with two free throws. Andersson didn't miss after drawing a foul, but Vicedo shook his defender to reach eight points. Brito finished an assist from Quintela. McFadden hit his fourth three-pointer and was already at 14 points. Speight made his debut with a nice individual play and then hit a three-pointer for 28-31. The local point guard became the absolute protagonist by stealing the ball and drawing a flagrant foul, but made only one of his free throws and the offense didn't produce for the Compostelans. Epi had put Munnings on the court minutes earlier to defend McFadden, giving him very physical wings when paired with Brito. Zamora substituted the American for Lobo, who found Wembi for a dunk on his first play. Galán confirmed the poor free throw shooting day, making only one and the team shooting a poor 8 of 13. Wembi received again for the dunk, but Munnings responded with a three-pointer. Dos Anjos finally made both his free throws and tied the game. Littleson confirmed the multiple outside weapons of the visitors with his first three-pointer and Barcello answered from mid-range. A dunk from Dos Anjos put Obradoiro ahead for the first time and prompted Zamora to bring McFadden back to the court. Sola took advantage of the attention on his teammates to hit an open three-pointer and McFadden returned to his business to reach 17 points and prompt Epi to call another timeout. Barrueta hit his first three-pointer, but then he and Barcello missed, while Sola closed the quarter with another three-pointer off a McFadden pass.

The game became tense and intense, with misses from both sides. Speight scored two and Vicedo responded, reaching 14 points in another day of a former player doing damage to his old team. The small local point guard took center stage again and with two free throws signed the last four points for Obradoiro. A three-point play from Zurbriggen cooled the local comeback and the Argentine point guard became the third visiting player to reach double figures. Arteaga made one of his free throws and Andersson did the same. Speight confirmed himself as the local leader of this quarter and added his seventh point in this period with a three-pointer. Zamora called timeout at 61-65. The play didn't work because Speight stole the ball and assisted Quintela who scored the layup.

The tension and intensity of the entire second half continued and once again it was Speight who led with another three-pointer. The duel between the American from Obradoiro and the Argentine from Hestia Menorca was a spectacle, with both surpassing 20 in rating. Zamora called timeout, but Quintela frustrated the Balearic attack with a steal and an assist to Brito to give the Santiago side a maximum five-point lead. The local recipe was clear: very intense defense, steals, and running. Once again Brito finished the assist, this time from Speight, to cap an 8-0 run. The Balearics couldn't hit their open shots now, even McFadden who couldn't get off most of his attempts, with the local defense giving up shots to other players like Zurbriggen or Sola. Zamora's team managed to score again through Lobo, who assumed the offensive leadership of his team and added a 0-5 run with a three-pointer. Epi called timeout at 76-74 with 1:55 remaining. Obradoiro couldn't get a good shot on their possession, but Menorca also missed three-pointers from McFadden and Zurbriggen. Barcello also missed and Lobo drew a foul. The visiting shooting guard didn't miss and tied the score. Kravic missed and the game went to overtime.

Zurbriggen this time hit the three-pointer. Dos Anjos reduced the lead with two free throws. Westermann committed his fifth foul on Zurbriggen, who made only one of his free throws.

Another steal from the defense gave Speight the opportunity to draw a foul and the American made only one free throw, but Galán got the rebound and drew another foul. The big man put his team up four by making both. A foul on Vicedo's offensive rebound gave Barcello two shots. The referees became protagonists by calling a technical on Speight and another on Vicedo, then calling two consecutive technicals on Zamora that led to the visiting coach's ejection and gave Barcello four free throws. The American made three of them for 89-82. Wembi scored in the paint. Barcello missed, but after an offensive rebound the ball came back to him and he hit a three-pointer. The Galician defense took effect again and Speight finished a fast break. Caldeira do Sar chanted MVP during the timeout called by Menorca. Lobo scored again but the difference was already too large for Obradoiro.
