Chris Duarte led the scoring with 22 points and 4 assists, while Kendrick Dennard Perry added 13 points. Aleksander Roman Balcerowski and Chase Audige added 11 points apiece, but their efforts weren’t enough.
Offensively, Unicaja shot competitively, hitting 45.5% from the field, 34.2% from the perimeter and 76.2% from the free throw line, while dishing out 16 assists.
