Burgos go second
Basketball Champions League winners San Pablo Burgos edged past Baskonia 91-89 in a very tight Liga Endesa match that was won by Jasiel Rivero’s two-pointer with less than a second on the clock.
The scores were tied at 89-89 with both teams going all out to win and it came down to who was going to take the chance. Rivero was quick to take the rebound after a missed throw that hit the rim.
🔥 ¡PAAAAAPI FOR THE WIN!
