For its part, Hiopos Lleida continues on a negative streak, accumulating seven consecutive defeats that complicate its situation in the competition.

From the start of the match, Covirán Granada showed a determined attitude and came out strong, led by French point guard Jonathan Rousselle, who had a notable performance from the bench. His contribution was key for the Granada team to establish a promising first quarter, culminating with an 11-2 run that allowed them to close the first period with an advantage (23-17). However, the match was not without setbacks, as Atoumane Diagne, Senegalese center for Hiopos, suffered an injury that affected his team's performance.

Although the visitors tried to react at the beginning of the second quarter, showing an effective game in the paint (25-24, m.13), Covirán Granada found their best weapon in the outside shot. With notable success in the three-pointers, they managed to extend their advantage and reached halftime with a comfortable margin of ten points (45-35). The lack of effectiveness in shooting by Hiopos was a determining factor in this first half of the match.

The third quarter began with Oriol Paulí raising the level of play of Hiopos Lleida, getting closer on the scoreboard (48-44, m.23). However, the Croatian Luja Bozic shone once again on the court, guiding the locals towards a new surge on the scoreboard (59-50, m.27). At the end of the third quarter, Covirán Granada maintained its lead at 65-55, which gave them many options to win in the last ten minutes.

The game became increasingly exciting in the fourth quarter. Although Covirán Granada dominated the scoreboard, Hiopos Lleida, led by Gerard Find, tried to fight until the end, relying on the offensive talent of James Batemon, who scored crucial points that closed the gap (84-75, m.38 after a 0-7 partial). However, Covirán stood firm under the pressure.

In a dramatic turn, Hiopos had the opportunity to force overtime with a triple from Batemon in the last second, but luck was not on their side and finally Covirán Granada took the victory, ensuring a respite in their fight for permanence. This victory is an injection of morale for the Granadans, who now have three victories in their last games.
