Unicaja’s first-half offense set the platform. The visitors scored 52 points before halftime and built a nine-point lead by attacking mismatches and moving the ball quickly. Breogan remained within striking distance, but Unicaja’s ability to answer every home run kept the momentum on the visitors’ side.
Key Moments
The most important stretch came late in the third quarter. Breogan had cut the deficit to six and the home crowd was beginning to make an impact, but Unicaja responded with a 9-2 run that restored a comfortable cushion. The run featured a transition three, a strong drive to the basket and an offensive rebound that led to free throws.
In the fourth quarter, Breogan never managed to bring the game back to one possession. Unicaja controlled the pace, used the shot clock effectively and converted at the free-throw line to close out the victory.
Tactical Story
Unicaja’s offensive balance was the defining feature of the game. The visitors had multiple players in double figures and consistently found the open man against Breogan’s rotations. Their ball movement forced the home defense to cover the entire floor, creating driving lanes and open perimeter looks.
Breogan scored 90 points, which is usually enough to compete at home, but the team could not get enough stops. The home side struggled to contain Unicaja’s pick-and-roll attack and gave up too many second-chance points. Breogan’s own offense was effective in spots, but it became too dependent on individual shot-making in the second half.
Unicaja also won the bench battle. Their reserves provided energy and scoring, allowing the starters to remain fresher in the closing minutes.
Standout Players
Kendrick Perry led Unicaja with 22 points and several important assists, while Dylan Osetkowski added 18 points and nine rebounds. Unicaja’s frontcourt controlled the paint and helped the visitors finish with a strong rebounding advantage.
For Breogan, the backcourt fought hard and kept the team within range for much of the night. The home side’s scoring was spread across several players, but Breogan lacked the defensive answer needed to slow Unicaja’s rhythm.
League Impact
The road win adds valuable momentum to Unicaja’s Liga ACB campaign and highlights the team’s ability to score efficiently away from home. For Breogan, the loss is a reminder of how demanding the ACB can be: a solid offensive night can still end in defeat when defensive stops are hard to come by.
Both clubs will now turn their attention to the next round, with Unicaja looking to build on a convincing performance and Breogan seeking a sharper defensive response.
