CB Gandia — Castello: 94:88, LEB Plata

Gandía beat Castellón 94:88 in the LAB Plata on 2026-10-03. The home side took all three points from a match against the table toppers. Castellón had entered the fixture sitting first after 26 games with 21 wins and five defeats.

To be fair, the prediction markets had Castellón as clear favourites. The away side's record — 21 victories from 26 matches — suggested they would extend their lead at the summit. Gandía sat fifth, 16 wins and 10 losses, with nothing between the two sides in terms of draws.

The result ended Castellón's momentum. Their last five fixtures showed mixed fortunes: losses to Albacete on consecutive weekends, then a narrow win against Llíria followed by another victory over the same opposition. Gandía's recent run included a heavy defeat to Morón and a loss to the Spanish basketball academy, though they had beaten Molina Basket comfortably.

By then, the standings shifted. Castellón remain top, but the gap to second place has tightened. Gandía climbed closer to the play-off positions, moving from fifth with a point now separating them from the teams above. The hosts are in control of their immediate future.
