The Spanish club continues to fight for survival in the Euroleague, balancing on the edge of the outsider zone.

The team missed key attacks at the end, which led to a loss of points.

The main hopes are placed on key players such as Donta Hall and Chima Moneke, who should take on leadership functions.
