FC Barcelona showcased its resilience with a second narrow win of the week, having edged FC Bayern Munich 72-70 on Thursday after Tuesday’s 83-78 win over Maccabi Playtika Tel Aviv, improving to 15-8 while Bayern dropped to 9-14 after suffering two defeats on its Spanish tour (73-82 at Valencia on Tuesday).
Barca thus took full advantage of its home court and can now look forward to the final third of the regular season, having been forced to dig deep by a battling Bayern side that missed a bunch of key players.
