Those 35 points were the third-most Baskonia has ever scored in the first quarter of EuroLeague action, but the way they were scored was even more impressive: the hosts made 9-of-10 two-point shots, 4-of-5 three-pointers and 5-of-6 free throws during the first 10 minutes.
To add to it all, Baskonia had 13 assists and no turnovers in that first quarter. It is hard to get it done better than that, in what was quite a quarter for Baskonia in its season finale.
