Finished watching the final, typical start of the season game of course. Many misses, clumsy plays, some players trying to show what their worth with some surprising moves with little effect, airballs, etc.. But the game had emotion, that's a fact. And Prigioni had perhaps the game of his life, the way he shot that night was just incredible, he hit about 3 3-pointers way beyond the line. Teletovi? also very good beyond the arc and was pretty much the player that made TAU's win possible with a late shot to put the Basques definitely in the game. It was incredible how Zaragoza let the game slip through their fingers in the final 3 minutes, but they showed they're a team to count on and can actually become a surprise in the league.
