Return to the top: FC Barcelona completes sweep of Bizkaia Bilboa Basket

June 15, 2011

BallinEurope congratulates another champion this morning, as FC Barcelona earned a Spanish triple crown last night by finishing off Bizkaia Bilbao Basket last night, 64-55, to sweep the ACB championship series. Barcelona ended its 2010-11 campaign, in which the Blaugrana took the Copa del Rey and regular-season title by regaining the trophy they last won in 2009.

In a tightly fought, highly defensive contest the league’s official site describes as “intense,” Bilbao threatened to pull off another upset in its Cinderella playoff run, first taking a 30-29 lead into halftime and adding an 11-2 run early in the third quarter to go up 41-33.

Series MVP Juan Carlos Navarro (who finished with a game-high 16 points) led the charge thereafter, however, and the title-holders outgunned Bilbao, 31-14, the rest of the way.
