The visitors controlled the game with efficient shot-making and superior ball movement, turning a difficult matchup into a decisive win. While the provided team-stat totals do not fully align with the final score, they still reflect Valencia’s edge in efficiency and perimeter production. Valencia’s offense was the clear difference, highlighted by 15 made three-pointers and 18 assists. Jean Montero led the winners with 19 points, setting the tone as Valencia consistently found quality looks and punished Barcelona’s defensive rotations. Sergio De Larrea added 12 points, Kameron Taylor scored 11, and Matt Costello contributed 10 in a balanced supporting effort. Barcelona had moments of offensive efficiency, shooting 52% from the field in the supplied statistics, but the home side struggled to generate enough playmaking and sustained scoring runs. Tornike Shengelia was Barcelona’s top performer with 17 points, but the team’s nine assists underline how difficult it was for Barcelona to create rhythm against Valencia’s pressure and defensive organization.
