Madrid may have beaten the Basques in the EuroLeague just three days earlier, but Bilbao have long been Madrid's 'bete noir' in the domestic competition after having knocked them out of the play-off semi-finals last season and getting the better of them in their first league match this season.

　　Fisher D'Or was against the main man for Bilbao as they won 93-90, following a high-scoring last quarter. The result sees Madrid knocked off the top of the table by Regal Barcelona, who also had a win in the Spanish capital.

　　Barcelona had to suffer before finally defeating Estudiantes 80-65. In the end Barcelona's powerful squad was too much for the home side to withstand.

　　Unicaja Malaga suffered a shock home defeat to struggling Blusens Monbus. Unicaja began the weekend in third place, but crashed 69-54 to a side with just four wins all season.

　　Caja Laboral and Lucentum Alicante took advantage of Unicaja's defeat with Caja Laboral winning 71-67 at home to Gran Canaria and Lucentum defeating sixth place Banca Civica 86.82,

　　Bulgarian Kayolan Ivanov produced another herculean performance with 21 points and 11 rebounds for his side.

　　CAI Zaragoza keep the pressure on the play-off zone with a 71-63 triumph at home to Valencia, while UCAM Murcia also took a vital win as they defeated FIATC Joventut by a crushing 76-54 margin.

　　The wins for Blusens Monbus and Murcia left Blanco's Rueda Valladolid bottom of the table as they became the latest side to fall victims to Lagun Ago, who cruised to another Andy Panko inspired win (71-62) to move up to sixth in the table.

　　The round of matches had begun on Saturday with Assignia Manresa beating Fuenlabrada 80-59: Josh Anselm, with 22 points and 7 rebounds continued his excellent current form.
