The 2025–26 Liga Endesa season delivered a thrilling high‑scoring encounter on 30 May 2026 as San Pablo Burgos edged out Granada 110–105 at the Coliseum Burgos. The result kept Burgos firmly in the playoff hunt while Granada saw their slim postseason hopes suffer a damaging blow.

Match Overview

From the opening tip, both teams showed little interest in defence, instead opting for an up‑tempo, three‑point heavy approach. Burgos shot 14‑of‑31 from beyond the arc, while Granada connected on 12 triples of their own. The home side led 58–52 at halftime, but Granada refused to fade, tying the game early in the fourth quarter. A late 8‑0 run by Burgos, capped by a steal and dunk from guard Alex Renfroe, proved decisive.

Key Moments

• First quarter: Burgos jumped out to a 28–22 lead behind 10 quick points from forward Xavi Rabaseda.
• Third quarter: Granada’s Christian Díaz hit back‑to‑back threes to cut the deficit to 75–73.
• Fourth quarter: With the score tied at 97, Burgos centre Arnoldas Kulboka converted an and‑one and then blocked a Granada layup, sparking the decisive run.

Standout Players

San Pablo Burgos: Veteran point guard Alex Renfroe recorded a double‑double with 18 points and 11 assists, controlling the tempo in the crucial final minutes. Arnoldas Kulboka added 22 points and 8 rebounds, dominating the paint. Xavi Rabaseda chipped in 16 points on 6‑of‑9 shooting.

Granada: Christian Díaz poured in a game‑high 27 points, including 5 triples. Forward David Iriarte contributed 19 points and 7 rebounds, but Granada’s inability to stop Burgos in transition proved costly.

Tactical Story

Burgos’s decision to switch all screens and push the pace forced Granada into early‑shot‑clock attempts, many of which were contested. Granada’s defence, which had been stingy all season, allowed 110 points for only the third time. Burgos exploited mismatches in the pick‑and‑roll, especially when Kulboka was guarded by smaller defenders.

Season Impact

With the win, San Pablo Burgos improved to 21–14, moving into a tie for 7th place in the Liga Endesa standings. They now hold a one‑game cushion over the 9th‑placed team with three games remaining. Granada fell to 17–18, leaving them two games out of the final playoff spot with four to play. Their margin for error is now virtually zero.
