CB Canarias has achieved a balance of victories this season, securing ten wins both at home and away, a crucial factor for their advancement to the Liga Endesa semifinals.

The team from La Laguna, coached by Txus Vidorreta, has shown remarkable solvency away from the Santiago Martín arena, accumulating ten victories as visitors this season. This away performance has become a fundamental pillar in their pursuit of the Liga Endesa semifinals.
While the team has secured ten away wins out of a possible 18 games, this record is not their best in recent history. Last season, for instance, the Tenerife-based team achieved 13 away victories, a similar figure to the 20/21 season, when they recorded 13 wins in 21 matches.
The quality of their away victories has been decisive in key moments of the season. With these ten wins away from the island, Canarias matches the successes achieved in front of their home crowd. At the Santiago Martín, the team has lost eight games: seven in the regular season and one recently in the quarterfinals against Real Madrid.
This 10-8 record is the lowest for seasons in which the team has reached the playoff series for the title. The inconsistency on their home court is offset by their reliability as visitors, with eight regular season wins and the two from the quarterfinal playoff. Notable key victories include the one achieved at the Palau to secure qualification for the Copa del Rey, and wins against Unicaja and Real Madrid in the second half of the season.
The most unique aspect of the current season is that CB Canarias has never finished with such a balanced record. If the team continues its impressive run, they could end the season with more away wins than home wins, despite having the home-court disadvantage in the semifinals and a hypothetical final. Their four most recent successes have been away from the Santiago Martín, where they haven't lost in nearly two months.
The team recalls the precedent of UCAM Murcia two years ago, which reached the runner-up position without winning a single playoff game at home. Given the experience of the series against Real Madrid, the CB Canarias fans hope for a successful season outcome.
