Basquet Girona delivered a powerful home performance in the Liga Asociación de Clubs de Baloncesto (ACB) on 18 October 2026, defeating Basquet Coruna 110-90. The hosts combined efficient three-point shooting with relentless transition play to pull away in the second half and secure a convincing 20-point victory.

Match overview

Girona led 29-22 after the first quarter and 56-46 at halftime, but the game was still within reach for Coruna. The decisive spell came in the third quarter, when Girona outscored the visitors 28-21 to extend their advantage to 17 points. A 26-23 fourth quarter kept the margin comfortable, allowing Girona to close out the game with control.

The 110-90 final score reflected Girona’s offensive balance: scoring from the perimeter, inside the paint and at the free-throw line. Coruna had productive stretches, particularly in the second quarter, but could not match the hosts’ pace for the full 40 minutes.

Key moments

• Girona opened the game with a 10-2 run, setting an aggressive tone in front of their home crowd.
• A 12-3 run late in the third quarter broke the game open and pushed the lead beyond 20 points.
• Coruna trimmed the deficit to 12 early in the fourth, but Girona answered with consecutive three-pointers.
• Girona’s bench sealed the win with disciplined execution in the final five minutes.

Tactical story

Girona’s offense was built on quick ball movement and spacing. Their guards consistently beat Coruna’s first line of defense, forcing help rotations and creating open corner threes. When Coruna adjusted to close out on shooters, Girona attacked the basket and drew fouls. The hosts also dominated the defensive glass, limiting second-chance points and launching fast breaks.

Coruna tried to slow the game with half-court sets and post touches, and they found some success when their shooters connected from deep. However, their defense struggled to contain Girona’s dribble penetration, and foul trouble allowed the hosts to maintain momentum. Girona’s ability to score in bunches made the difference, especially during the decisive third-quarter run.

Standout performers

Girona’s perimeter players controlled the rhythm, mixing drives with timely three-point shooting. The frontcourt provided physical play on the boards and efficient finishing around the rim, while the bench added energy and scoring depth. Coruna’s best performers kept the visitors competitive in the first half, but the team’s defensive consistency wavered after halftime.

What the result means

The victory strengthens Basquet Girona’s position in the early Liga ACB standings and gives them a valuable home win in the race for playoff positioning. Their 110-point output will boost confidence, though maintaining defensive intensity against stronger opponents remains a key challenge. Basquet Coruna will take lessons from their first-half fight but must address the defensive lapses that allowed Girona to pull away. The result adds another high-scoring entry to the season’s results and gives Girona momentum heading into their next fixture.
