Barcelona secures 21st EuroLeague victory over Bayern Munich

Jabari Parker led Barcelona with 15 points, followed by Nicolas Laprovittola with 14, and Jan Vesely, who added 12 points. "We maintained control, especially in the fourth quarter. Our passing and ability to find open shots were key," commented Barcelona coach Roger Grimau on the team's performance.

Ibaka, besides his scoring, contributed 12 rebounds, yet it wasn't enough to secure a win. Bayern Munich's coach, Pablo Laso, acknowledged his team's improved play in the second half but lamented missed opportunities to narrow the scoreline. "We faced a formidable team," he remarked, reflecting on the challenge posed by Barcelona.
