FC Barcelona cruised to a 72-56 home victory over ALBA Berlin in Round 32 to secure home-court advantage for the playoffs. Its team depth was critical, as new players stepped up in this important game.
Kyle Kuric did not step on the court against Partizan Mozzart Bet Belgrade in Round 32. In that game, Nikola Kalinic and Sertac Sanli combined for 6 points in their team's 80-89 road victory. Kuric started against ALBA and scored 5 of his 7 points early in the second half, when Barca struggled to score.
"Kyle [Kuric] showed today that he is ready to get on the court at any time and give a good performance," Barca coach Sarunas Jasikevicius said after the game. "He is practicing well, with a good attitude. It is not easy for a player who doesn't play, but there is no other way. You have to be ready, this is it."
