Unicaja stayed close in the 1st half, but a dominant 3rd quarter from Barça decided the outcome. Ndong did a good job in the offensive glass (most of his points are second chance baskets), Eidson was crucial in the decisive run. For Unicaja, only Fitch delivered in the 2nd half. He looks good lately.
Unicaja is a solid team, but they lack a defensive big man. Sinanovic is too slow and has bad positioning on defense, Freeland can't guard strong guys.
Barça is too good. It seems that when they want to decide the game, they do it and there is nothing the opponent can do about it. With such effective defense, their main scorers (Navarro, Lorbek) can have off-days and they still win with ease. I put them ahead CSKA as main contender for the Euroleague title.
