Building on Jabari Parker’s clutch makes in regulation, Nicolas Laprovittola powered up FC Barcelona in overtime en route to a home win, 95-89, against Dreamland Gran Canaria on Sunday.
Improving his best scoring performance in the 2023-24 campaign to 29 points, Laprovittola had seven points and two assists over the five extra minutes. Parker put in eight of his 15 points across the fourth quarter and overtime. Nikola Kalinic did not suit up for Round 32 of Spain’s Liga Endesa Regular Season. On the wrong end of a comeback from a 20-point deficit, Ethan Happ had 24 points.
Earlier, Real Madrid beat Coviran Granada, 94-80, behind seven double-digit scorers, including Walter Tavares combining ten points with nine rebounds, three blocks, and two assists in a game-high efficiency rating of 26. Rudy Fernandez and Sergio Rodriguez sat out as the team coached by Chus Mateo improved a league-high W-L tally to 27-5.
After honoring former player Tiago Splitter, retiring his jersey number 21 in a pregame ceremony, Baskonia lost to Girona, 96-92. Markus Howard produced a game-high 30 points in a losing display. Khalifa Diop (left wrist surgery) and Chima Moneke (left ankle) remained sidelined.
