　　Madrid may have beaten the Basques in the EuroLeague just three days earlier, but Bilbao have long been Madrid's 'bete noir' in the domestic¹ competition after having knocked them out of the play-off semi-finals last season and getting the better of them in their first league match this season.

　　Fisher D'Or was against the main man for Bilbao as they won 93-90, following a high-scoring last quarter. The result sees Madrid knocked off the top of the table by Regal Barcelona, who also had a win in the Spanish capital.

　　Barcelona had to suffer before finally defeating Estudiantes 80-65. In the end Barcelona's powerful squad² was too much for the home side to withstand.

　　Unicaja Malaga suffered a shock home defeat to struggling Blusens Monbus. Unicaja began the weekend in third place, but crashed 69-54 to a side with just four wins all season.

　　Caja Laboral and Lucentum Alicante took advantage of Unicaja's defeat with Caja Laboral winning 71-67 at home to Gran Canaria and Lucentum defeating sixth place Banca Civica 86.82,

　　Bulgarian Kayolan Ivanov produced another herculean performance with 21 points and 11 rebounds³ for his side.

　　CAI Zaragoza keep the pressure on the play-off zone with a 71-63 triumph at home to Valencia, while UCAM Murcia also took a vital win as they defeated FIATC Joventut by a crushing 76-54 margin⁴.

　　The wins for Blusens Monbus and Murcia left Blanco's Rueda Valladolid bottom of the table as they became the latest side to fall victims to Lagun Ago, who cruised⁵ to another Andy Panko inspired win (71-62) to move up to sixth in the table.

　　The round of matches had begun on Saturday with Assignia Manresa beating Fuenlabrada 80-59: Josh Anselm, with 22 points and 7 rebounds continued his excellent current form.
