Euroleague: Laboral Kutxa 75 Barcelona 71
Ioannis Bourousis top-scored with 22 points as Laboral Kutxa beat Barcelona 75-71 in the Euroleague.
Victory for CSKA Moscow over Brose Baskets Bamberg or Real Madrid against Olympiacos will confirm Laboral's place in the playoffs.
Basque outfit Laboral came into the game with a 9-1 record in the Euroleague this season, while Barca were on the back of a 1-6 run away from Catalonia.
The contest was true to form as strong middle quarters helped Laboral earn a lead that Barca failed to whittle away, despite a 26-19 winning final period.
Ioannis Bourousis put up 22 points for Laboral, ably supported by Mike James (14 points), Adam Hanga (11) and Kim Tillie (10).
