A third league win in a row, this time against UCAM Murcia, made up for the setback in Europe midweek, with Punter and Brizuela leading the way with 20 and 19 points each.
Things didn't start well, with UCAM quickly going +8, but by the end of the first period Barça had regrouped and moved into a 3-point lead.
The home side were erratic, sometimes brilliant, sometimes sloppy, and with Brizuela and Metu especially active, they were made yo pay for their inconsistency as the Catalans gradually pulled away on the scoreboard.
But that momentum diminished when Ennis and Gates started to lead the Murcia comeback, and although Barça looked in charge, the home side never stopped plugging away and a buzzer-beating three from Radebaugh sent the game into overtime.
The additional period was neck-and-neck and the smallest details were going to decide this one. Neither side could pull away until the final seconds, when Barça lunged their way over the lne to eventually win it by five.
