San Pablo Burgos — Baskonia Vitoria-Gasteiz: 97:98, ACB

San Pablo Burgos and Baskonia met in the ACB on 27 September 2026, with the visitors claiming a narrow 98-97 victory in a game that went to the wire. The result keeps Baskonia in third place while Burgos remain 13th after 34 matches.

What stood out was the shooting efficiency. Baskonia converted 9 of their 27 three-point attempts compared to just 4 from 21 for the hosts, and they recorded 23 assists against 15. By then, the difference was clear — the away side moved the ball better and found cleaner looks.

We had called for a Baskonia win with moderate confidence, and the match played out that way. They shot from distance at a higher rate and did not let Burgos settle into any rhythm. To be fair, the home side kept knocking on the door throughout, but the visitors held their nerve when it mattered.

The numbers tell the story of a game decided by spacing and ball movement. Baskonia attempted 60 field goals and hit 32, while Burgos went 37-for-76. The visitors also had 23 assists to 15 and committed fewer turnovers — 11 against 13 — which mattered in a one-point finish.

What the result means is that Baskonia stay in the top three, while Burgos cannot afford another slip if they want to climb. The gap between third and thirteenth remains substantial, and this match did nothing to close it.
