Barça took strength from weakness to defeat Anadolu Efes (82-77), current European champions, on Thursday in a titanic duel that woke up the best version of the Sarunas Jasikevicius team and also that of a devoted Palau Blaugrana.
The Barça fans had not forgotten the defeat against the Turkish team in the last final of the Euroleague and generated the thunderous atmosphere of the great European nights to feed a Barça that arrived lacking in freshness and after three consecutive defeats.
