In a critical phase of the game, trailing 64-71 with nine minutes remaining, Surne Bilbao mounted an impressive 19-4 run to turn the tide. This victory, their eighteenth of the season, means the team will enter the final regular season game controlling their own playoff qualification.

Jaume Ponsarnau's squad showed patience, waiting for their moment. They intensified their defense, making it difficult for the opponent to score. Melwin Pantzar (20 points, 5 assists) and Darrun Hilliard were instrumental, particularly in the decisive 19-4 run during the final nine minutes.

The start of the game was challenging for the home team, with Bàsquet Girona establishing an early lead. However, the introduction of the second unit, featuring Martin Krampelj and Aleix Font, helped Bilbao close the gap, ending the first quarter with a narrow 25-23 advantage.

The score remained close until halftime, with the teams going into the break at 42-41. After the restart, Bàsquet Girona managed to take the lead again (62-65) with ten minutes left on the clock.

In the final quarter, Surne Bilbao regained its composure and intensity. Led by Hilliard, Pantzar, and Hlinason, they mounted a comeback to lead 83-75. Although Bàsquet Girona narrowed the score in the final moments (83-80), free throws from Justin Jaworski and a steal by Normantas sealed the team's eighteenth win of the season.
