Local coach Txus Vidorreta will have the return of Marcelinho Huertas, but will miss another key player, Aaron Doornekamp, due to injury.

The match began with a dominant Barça. After an initially even start, the visitors took control of the scoreboard, forcing Vidorreta to call a timeout three and a half minutes into the game with an adverse score of 4-15. The Catalan team's dominance was evident in all aspects of play.

Despite the efforts of La Laguna Tenerife, Barça demonstrated their superiority, particularly through Shengelia, who emerged as a key figure. The Catalan team made very few errors in attack, maintaining a significant lead at the end of the first quarter (16-29).

The second quarter continued with the same trend as the start, with Barça doubling the locals' score (18-36) with less than two minutes remaining until halftime. Although the exchange of baskets did not favor the Tenerife team (32-48), five consecutive points from Tim Abromaitis narrowed the gap (37-48), forcing the first timeout requested by the visiting coach, Pascual. These were La Laguna Tenerife's best minutes.

A three-pointer by Mills brought the home team even closer, putting them just seven points behind, but an immediate response from Barça sealed the score at halftime, with a 15-point lead for the visitors (43-58).
