Casademont Zaragoza experienced the most replayed moment of the season when the ACB declared Spisu's three‑pointer over Bell‑Haynes in Lugo as the best winning basket of the campaign. The shot, taken in the final seconds, sealed a victory that the Aragonese fans have relived countless times.
What happened in the game?
The clash between Breogán and Casademont Zaragoza was decided in the last minute of the fourth quarter. With the score 78‑77 in favor of the visitors, Spisu received a pass from Bell‑Haynes after an intentional free‑throw miss. At 2:13 left, Spisu launched a perimeter three and scored, leaving the scoreboard 81‑77. The play became the talk of the club's social media.
Why did the ACB pick it as the best?
The ACB committee evaluated the action for its context and difficulty. The sequence followed a series of defensive rebounds, a steal, and a fast break that forced the defense to scramble. Moreover, the three was made at the buzzer, with Spisu shooting 45 % from three that season. The mix of pressure, timing, and impact on the standings led the ACB to label it the year's most decisive play.
How does it affect Casademont Zaragoza?
The recognition strengthens the team's identity and its fan base. After a FEB ruling that prevented the club from playing the final round at the Príncipe Felipe arena, the organization sought morale boosters. The basket's selection provides a pride point that adds to recent signings like Caleb Homesley, Roberts Blumbergs, and newcomer Sergi García. Each brings experience and perimeter firepower, potentially creating more high‑impact moments.
What’s next for the squad?
With the regular season over, Casademont Zaragoza is gearing up for the playoffs. Coach Porfirio Martínez announced a rotation focusing on paint protection and pick‑and‑roll execution with Nikola Kalinić and Luka Šamanić. If the team keeps the three‑point efficiency shown by Spisu (around 38 % in the closing stretch), it could generate more plays that become part of the club’s lore.
Other ACB highlights
In the same vote, Kuric's (Andorra) three in Tenerife placed third, while Markus Howard (Baskonia) took second after his buzzer‑beater at the Martín Carpena against Unicaja. Neither shot matched the emotional load carried by Spisu's basket for the Zaragoza supporters.
