Another key factor will be the defence. Carles Durán's team put in a great performance on the outside in the first game. Kyle Guy was their main man with 30 points and 8 out of 13 three-pointers, scoring over 50% from three-point range. The American guard is the leading scorer in the playoffs averaging 29.3 per game. Outside defence will be crucial to level the tie before the trip to Badalona.
