After Gianluca Basile put the visitors up 2 with 7.5 seconds left, San Emeterio took the ball, attacked the basket and managed to drop in a layup while drawing a foul from Terence Morris. He then sank the free throw as Fernando Buesa Arena erupted. Tiago Splitter was named finals MVP after recording 14 points, 13 rebounds, 4 assists, 4 steals and 2 blocks in Game 3. Lior Eliyahu added 18 points for the winners. San Emeterio finished with just 5, but 3 of them were the night’s most important points.

Spanish League, Season 2009-10
The Spanish League remains as one of the most competitive around the continent, a league where any team can lose a game anywhere. Just like in the last two years, Regal FC Barcelona and Real Madrid are the top candidates to lift the trophy, with Unicaja and Caja Laboral ready to challenge. Defending champion Barcelona kept most of its stars from last season including Euroleague MVP Juan Carlos Navarro, Jaka Lakovic, Fran Vazquez and Gianluca Basile while adding Boni Ndong, Pete Mickeal, Erazem Lorbek and Ricky Rubio, among others. Madrid inked legendary coach Ettore Messina and landed Travis Hansen, Rimantas Kaukenas, Novica Velickovic and Darjus Lavrinovic. Caja Laboral underwent severe roster changes, but remains competitive with Brad Oleson, Carl English, Marcelo Huertas and Lior Eliyahu ready to help Tiago Splitter and Mirza Teletovic. Unicaja also renovated its roster with Giorgos Printezis, Joel Freeland and Taquan Dean, while keeping Carlos Jimenez, Berni Rodriguez and Omar Cook. Bizkaia Bilbao Basket is a growing club with aspirations to reach high with Alex Mumbru, Marko Banic, Chris Warren and Ronnie Seibutis. DKV Joventut starts a new era with Uros Tripkovic, Clay Tucker and Antonio Bueno, while Valencia Basket hopes that Rawle Marshall, Serhiy Lishchuk, Matt Nielsen and Kosta Perovic lead the team back to the playoffs. Gran Canaria 2014 will be competitive as usual, with Jaycee Carroll and Will McDonald as its own superstars. Expect the Spanish League to provide six months of excitement in which anything can happen.
