BAXI Manresa continues to have good dynamics, especially away from Nou Congost. Those from Bages added their sixth consecutive victory as visitors after winning on the court of a needy Monbus Obradoiro (86-94). The team overcame a bad start and dominated from the middle of the second quarter, and in a new tight finish Dani Pérez, recently renewed until 2026, nailed a vital three-pointer to take the win.

In the second, some Manresans led by Badio scored thirteen consecutive points and thanks to this they were able to come back (26-31). The home team reacted and tied the score again, but a three-pointer by Sagnia gave the Bages team the lead at halftime (35-38).
Returning from the locker room, the visitors were solid and stayed ahead on the scoreboard with short leads, since Obradoiro stayed close thanks to their effectiveness from the free throw: they scored 14 of the 15 they shot in a third quarter that It ended with a four-point margin for the reds (61-65).
In the last ten minutes, the people from Manresa were ten points ahead with a basket by Dani García (63-73), but the Galicians did not give up and, led by Howard who scored four three-pointers in this quarter, they were just a point in the last minute. Then Dani Pérez appeared to score a key three-pointer, since Howard subsequently failed and Badio and Travanté sealed the seventeenth victory of the season.
On Saturday, starting at 6:00 p.m., BAXI Manresa will receive a visit from MoraBanc Andorra to Nou Congost.
