In what was supposed to be a Round 24 derby, FC Barcelona grabbed a convincing 87-71 win over Joventut Badalona in Palau Blaugrana and improved to 20-4 in the Spanish ACB League.
Tomas Satoransky led the winning side with 19 points and five assists, shooting 5-5 for two and 3-5 from beyond the arc for a PIR of 27.
Sertac Sanli followed him with 16 points and six rebounds (PIR 23), while Nikola Mirotic added 10 points.
Andres Feliz had 15 points in Joventut, Kyle Guy added 13, and Ante Tomic finished the game with 11 rebounds.
Barcelona is now at the top of the standings but with Real Madrid and Baskonia just a win behind, and yet to play their Round 24 matches.
