Barcelona Beat Breogan 99-91, Punter and Evbuomwan Cause Concern

Barcelona continued their winning streak with a 99-91 victory over Breogan in Barcelona in week seven of the ACB. The Catalan side secured their seventh consecutive win across all competitions and rose to 5-2 in the league. Breogan dropped to 4-3.

The win came at a heavy cost. Kevin Punter injured his ankle in the second period during a loose ball battle with Tevin Brown. He continued for a short time but came off before halftime. Tosan Evbuomwan also left the court in the third period after taking a blow to his side.

Dario Brizuela and Joel Parra were Barcelona's top scorers with 16 points each. Tyrese Martin posted 10 points, 10 rebounds and 5 assists, the only double-double performance at Palau Blaugrana. Olek Balcerowski and Justin Robinson also reached double figures.

Barcelona fell one point short of 100 in this game. The team will prepare for round 11 of the EuroLeague with this situation, facing Panathinaikos at OAKA on 13 November at 21:15. It is not yet clear whether Punter and Evbuomwan will play in that match.
