Baskonia defeated Bilbao Basket 87-64 in the final game of ACB League’s Final Tournament premier. A special day for the team that saw Jayson Granger return to action after rupturing his Achilles last September and remaining out of action since.
Upon his return, Granger helped his team reach the victory with 12 points, five assists across 17 minutes on the court and showed he is back in full form and ready to face off the rest of the opposing teams of Group A in the coming days!
