Despite losing head coach Porfirio Fisac in the third quarter, Casademont Zaragoza drew a 108-95 victory versus FC Barcelona on Sunday.
The standout performance in Round 11 of Spain’s Liga Endesa Regular Season belonged to Canadian guard Trae Bell-Haynes setting his career-high at 35 points. Emir Sulejmanovic threw in 26 points, a new personal best in the 2024-25 season.
Overcoming the ejection of Fisac with a second technical foul, the hosts jumped to 7-4. Down to 6-5 with a seventh loss in the last ten outings between the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague and the domestic league, Barca trails ACB leader Valencia by three games.
Kevin Punter, Dario Brizuela, and Alex Abrines shared a team-high 18 points. Nicolas Laprovittola, Chimezie Metu, and Raul Neto remained sidelined.
