Unicaja Malaga has successfully defended its Basketball Champions League title, defeating Galatasaray 83–67 in the final to claim its second consecutive trophy and the sixth BCL crown for Spain in just nine editions.

Coach Navarro’s team took an early lead and never looked back, controlling the pace against the Turkish side and pulling away in the fourth quarter. With disciplined ball-handling and a solid 51% shooting from two-point range (compared to Galatasaray’s 37%), Unicaja sealed the largest winning margin ever seen in a BCL final, played at the SUNEL Arena in Athens.

Tyson Carter, who helped lift Unicaja past hosts AEK in the semifinals, was named Final Four MVP. AEK secured the bronze medal with a 77–73 win over Tenerife.

In the championship game, Carter led the Spanish side with 14 points and 5 assists, while Perry and Perez added 13 each—Perez also grabbed 11 rebounds. Kalinoski chipped in with 11 points.

Despite four players scoring in double digits, Galatasaray fell short: Wallace and Cummings scored 14 each, Blumbergs added 12, and Palmer finished with 11.
