Manolo Trujillo's team bounced back from a shaky start and fought until the end, but Gaye Khalifa's clutch performance and the team's poor shooting in the final seconds sealed the Malaga side's fate (78-76). Unicaja Alhaurín de la Torre had some good moments, even putting pressure on the home team, but they were fleeting and couldn’t seal the victory. Dani Sierra led the team with 16 points, and Wilmer Mejía finished as the top scorer with 15 points.
