El Barcelona se llevó el primer asalto de la final de la ACB, que se decidirá al mejor de cinco, tras un espectacular partido contra el Valencia en su propia casa. Si los locales tomaron ventaja en los primeros compases, sus rivales rozaron la ... perfección en el segundo y tercer cuarto, crecidos gracias a una defensa extraordinaria y al liderazgo de Laprovittola que, cuando está en forma, es uno de los bases más decisivos del continente. Así, cuando la victoria de los azulgranas parecía cerca, Montero, Taylor y compañía se revolvieron como unas comadrejas para, a base de talento, corazón y físico, dejar listo para sentencia el triunfo. Pero, en el abismo, Clyburn forzó la prórroga con tres triples consecutivos, un golpe que acabó por hundir a los de Pedro Martínez. El sábado, el segundo asalto.
