Overview

  • Valencia Basket beat FC Barcelona 102-75 on Saturday, June 20, 2026 to tie the Liga Endesa final 1-1 after losing Game 1 by one point.
  • Jean Montero led Valencia with 19 points and Braxton Key added 15 as the home team pushed tempo and shot efficiently throughout the game.
  • Barcelona suffered a severe outside-shooting collapse, making just 2 of 17 three-pointers, which allowed Valencia to open a decisive lead after halftime.
  • Barça also lost Juani Marcos to an early injury, a problem coach Xavi Pascual cited after the game, and Kevin Punter was expelled late following an unsportsmanlike foul and a technical.
  • The series now shifts to Barcelona's Palau for two consecutive home games where Pascual has called for a strong response and where home-court advantage could swing the series outcome.
