Barcelona rallied past Real Madrid in Game 1 of the ACB Finals (97-88), as Nikola Mirotic got a standing ovation from the “Blaugrana” fans.
The Catalans relied on a 17-6 run in the fourth quarter to take control and never look back, with Nikola Mirotic scoring 10 of his 14 points in the final quarter. Game 2 is Sunday at “Palau Blaugrana”.
Mirotic, who will leave the Catalans after the end of the ACB Finals, got a standing ovation from the fans in attendance, as these will be his last games at Palau Blaugrana as a Barcelona player.
Nikola Mirotic and Barcelona were under contract until the summer of 2025, but the 2022 EuroLeague MVP leaves the club early and has already reportedly agreed to join Armani Milano.
Mirotic played in three straight EuroLeague Final Fours (2021, 2022, 2023, as the 2019/20 came to an end in March due to the Covid-19 pandemic) with the Catalans, without claiming the title.
