With six seconds left, Matt Janning made the most important three of the game, giving to KIROLBET Baskonia a 76-73 lead and ultimately the 78-74 win.
After this result, Bilbao is mathematically relegated, having an 8-24 record, while Baskonia remains second in the Liga Endesa standings with a 23-9 record.
Vincent Poirier with 15 points led a balanced effort by Baskonia, while Jonathan Tabu with 18 points and Dejan Todorovic with 17 points did their best to keep Bilbao’s hopes alive. Despite the fact that the hosts trailed by eight at the halftime (43-34), they managed to get back in the game.
Still, Janning’s shot decided the outcome and now both Bilbao and Real Betis have to think about LEB Oro, the Spanish second division.
