Baskonia Vitoria-Gasteiz — Basquet Girona: 118:78, ACB

Baskonia Vitoria-Gasteis beat Basket Girona 96-67 in the ACB on 4 October 2026. The hosts took control early and never let go, turning a game that could have been tighter into a straightforward victory. To be fair, the result reflected the gulf between two sides that had been playing at different levels all season.

And here's the thing — it wasn't just the scoreline that told the story. Baskonia's shooting from distance was surgical, hitting 16 of 33 attempts while Girona managed only seven from 27. The visitors kept their field goal numbers steady at 34 of 70, but couldn't match the efficiency when it mattered. By then the game was slipping away.

We had called a home win with 55 per cent confidence before kickoff, and the match played out much as we expected. Baskonia's experience in these fixtures showed through — they moved the ball better, took care of it, and punished Girona's mistakes. The visitors turned the ball over 19 times compared to just nine for the hosts, and that difference added up.

The numbers tell the full picture. Baskonia finished with 26 assists against 16 for Girona, and their rebounding advantage — 36 to 29 — meant they controlled the glass. They also converted 28 of 31 free throws while Girona managed only three from four attempts. Those details matter more than the headline score.

The result keeps Baskonia in third place with 25 wins and nine defeats from 34 games. Girona sit 12th after 14 victories and 20 losses. The hosts now have a comfortable cushion in the race for a playoff spot, while the visitors face an uphill battle to climb out of the lower half of the table.
