Barcelona defeated Andorra 91 – 71 and won the Spanish League quarterfinals series 2-1 with two victories in a row. The Blaugrana will face Baskonia in the ACB semifinals.

Ante Tomic and Adam Hanga did lots of work for Barca tonight. The Croatian big posted a double-double of 15 points and 10 rebounds while Hanga also contributed 15 points plus three rebounds, two blocks and big-time defenses during the team-high 30 minutes he spent on the floor.

Barcelona kept Andorra to merely 15 points in the third period while dropping 24 to enter the fourth quarter up 69 – 52. It was too large of a deficit for the visiting squad, especially considering their poor outing from beyond the arc (5/27).

Jaka Blazic had 13 points for Andorra, Andrew Albicy 11 points plus five assists, David Jelinek 11 points, and Andrew Stevic 10 points.

For Barcelona, Victor Claver added 14 points and Thomas Heurtel 13 points and five assists.

The game was attended by Washington Wizards guard and former Barcelona player Tomas Satoransky.
