Saski Baskonia Team Overview
Saski Baskonia are experiencing a mixed run of form, with two wins and three losses in their last five EuroLeague games, highlighting their inconsistency. However, when everything clicks, they can surprise with powerful offensive plays. On average, the team scores over 82 points per game, often relying on long-range shots and quick ball movement. Their defense can be a concern, occasionally allowing easy points under their own basket. Historically, Saski have put up a strong fight against giants like Real Madrid.
In the previous round, Galbiati's squad managed to defeat Olimpia Milano at home with a score of 88-78. This victory marked Baskonia's third consecutive home win in the EuroLeague. However, their away form this season has been dismal, with losses in all six matches. The coach needs to use this negative aspect as motivation. Especially since the team is playing at a higher level compared to the start of the season. The undisputed leader is Luwawu-Cabarrot, who averages 19.7 points per game, ranking second among top scorers.
