Basquet Girona bounced back with a gritty 77-71 home win against San Pablo Burgos on February 1, 2026. In a low-scoring, physical battle at the Fontajau, Girona's defense secured a crucial victory for their playoff hopes. The game was a defensive slugfest, with both teams struggling to find easy baskets against well-organized half-court defenses. Girona managed to create a small but persistent lead in the second half through their work on the offensive glass, earning second-chance points. Burgos stayed within reach until the final minutes but failed to convert on several key possessions when they needed a score. Girona's power forward was instrumental, recording a double-double with 18 points and 12 rebounds.
