Despite 24 points by Thomas Heurtel, Gran Canaria had the lead from the first quarter and kept it until the final 88-77.
All five starters of the guests scored in double digits with veteran captain Eulis Báez being the best among equals with 12 points and 8 rebounds, while Ondrej Balvin was the top scorer with 17 points.
Barcelona shot 41% from the field and couldn’t stop the balanced offensive effort of Gran Canaria which also had an 8-4 record. Barca, which is a de facto title contender, has a 4-8 record so far in the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague, making the total record of the team 12-12, one more proof of the bad start of the season.
