Barca buries its European options on a disastrous quarter final

In a grotesque end room, in which only scored five points, the Barcelona has run out of options the win in Krasnodar , where he succumbed 81-67 Lokomotiv Kuban front, with what you can not play the final phase of the Euroleague.

The match Xavi Pascual is a summary of your season. His basketball moves in a continuous slide, capable of the best and the worst. Today started badly (50-39 at halftime), fought back and took the lead in the third quarter (58-62), but skirted the ridiculous in about last ten minutes in which conceded a partial 23-5 loss forcefully by 81-67 in the fifth game of the series.

The departure of the Russians was meteoric. All players saw the big basket and scoring from any position. Highlighting Randolph, Voronov and Broeckhoff, and the three scored 20 of the 26 points of his team in the first ten minutes.

With 80 percent of success in field goals and 75 triples, the club resisted as could rush a team featuring a state of grace and assigned Perperoglou, the lifeline of Barca when things got complicated.

The beginning of the second quarter was promising for Xavi Pascual. He entered the rotation pivots Dorsey. He accumulated a partial 0-7 Barca to stand for the first time ahead in the score (26-28), but in the blink of an eye, everything fell apart.

Unsportsmanlike fouls Dorsey, a pair of fouls in attack, very fast entry into bonus and every encouragement for local from the free throw that allowed the Lokomotiv not only resist but get a 9-0 and open gap marker (35-28).

It was four minutes without scoring Barca and that was too much. Without Randolph, but with Delaney cash and triple Broeckhkoff, the Russians escaped on the scoreboard without either Xavi Pascual and his team could stop the bleeding and rest Lokomotiv income was already eleven points (50-39) , the maximum until then.

Barca knew they had to improve the defense and managed to stop the Russians. In addition, it began to work outside game, with a very active Navarro.

A partial put Barca 0-9 in readiness (52-48), although the successes of Broeckhoff gave respite to his team without Delaney nor Randolph, its main stars, shine.

Tomic dominated under the basket and two shots ahead Navarro put his team. The maximum advantage reached the 57-62 and Barca had three attacks to open space against a Lokomotiv was very touched.

In the fourth quarter, he appeared Singleton. Barca could not stop his outside game and the Russians a 59-64 passed to a 73-64, 14-0 partial Singleton with 11 points.
