Cory Higgins scored 20 points to lead Barcelona, Rolands Smits added 13 points, Nikola Mirotic scored 12, Nick Calathes tallied 12 points and 9 assists and Brandon Davies posted 10 points and 8 rebounds. Walter Tavares led the Real effort with 17 points, 9 rebounds and 5 blocks and Alberto Abalde scored 15. Smits and Mirotic combined for 10 points in a 0-14 first-quarter run as Barcelona claimed a double-digit lead, though Real got within 11-20 after 10 minutes. Trey Thompkins narrowed the gap to 4 early in the second quarter, but Barcelona responded with a 3-13 charge and rolled to a 31-52 halftime advantage. The lead peaked at 31-55 early in the third quarter on a three-point play by Higgins. Real got within 50-63 late in the third and a three-pointer by Abalde made it 62-73 in the fourth, but that was as close as it got as Barcelona held on for the win and the cup.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p lang=\"es\" dir=\"ltr\">La felicidad de levantar un trofeo: \u00a1Oriola levanta la <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/CopaACB?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#CopaACB<\/a>! \u00a1El Bar\u00e7a es campe\u00f3n!<\/p>\n<p>\ud83c\udfa5 <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/vamos?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@vamos<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/wW0R62GSF2\">pic.twitter.com\/wW0R62GSF2<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; #CopaACB (@ACBCOM) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ACBCOM\/status\/1361036464763539457?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">February 14, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p> <script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">CAMPIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONSS!!! \ud83c\udfc6 <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/CopaACB?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#CopaACB<\/a><\/p>\n<p>BEEN AMUNT, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/PierreOriola?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@Pierreoriola<\/a>, BEEEN AMUUUNT! \ud83d\udd35\ud83d\udd34 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/PCb9iL8GBQ\">pic.twitter.com\/PCb9iL8GBQ<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Bar\u00e7a Basket (@FCBbasket) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/FCBbasket\/status\/1361036541674590220?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">February 14, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p> <script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cory Higgins scored 20 points to lead Barcelona in the final against Real Madrid<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":148,"featured_media":200330,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[34],"tags":[2257,5313,2749,1375,3299],"rumors":[],"typology":[],"posizionamento":[],"class_list":["post-200333","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-acb","tag-cory-higgins","tag-fc-barcelona","tag-nikola-mirotic","tag-real-madrid","tag-walter-tavares-2"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.3 -
