Basquet Girona secured a vital home victory over Catalan rivals DKV Joventut, winning 82–77 at Fontajau. The result gave Girona a major boost in their quest for a playoff berth, while Joventut’s playoff dreams took a hit as they slumped to a third straight road loss.

Match Overview

The hosts led 23–16 after the first period and built a 13‑point advantage early in the second half. Joventut, known for their fast‑break style, never found their stride and were forced to play catch‑up throughout.

• Joventut fights back: The visitors cut the deficit to 78–75 with 1:45 left, but Girona’s defense forced two shot‑clock violations in the final minute.
• Free‑throw composure: Girona shot 8/8 from the line in the last two minutes, with point guard Michael Caicedo nailing four crucial attempts.

Season Impact

Girona improved to 15‑15, moving into eighth place and leapfrogging Joventut in the standings. Joventut fell to 14‑16, now two games out of the last playoff spot with four games left. The win also gave Girona the tie‑breaker advantage in the head‑to‑head series (2‑0), which could prove decisive.

Girona’s schedule eases with games against bottom‑half opponents, while Joventut faces a difficult run against Madrid and Baskonia. The fight for the final postseason spot remains wide open.
