MoraBanc Andorra Stuns Río Breogán 99-97 with Best's Buzzer-Beater

MoraBanc Andorra secured a dramatic 99-97 victory over Río Breogán in Lugo, marking their seventh win of the ACB season and second on the road. Aaron Best's clutch three-pointer with 1.6 seconds left proved decisive, lifting the team from a 13-point deficit in the third quarter and easing relegation pressure ahead of matches involving Burgos and Gran Canaria.

Played before 5,245 fans at Pazo dos Deportes—a venue where Andorra had never won since returning to the league—the game stayed tight early. Breogán edged the first quarter 20-19 despite Andorra's defensive intensity limiting the hosts' efficiency. The second period saw an exchange of long-range shots, with Francis Alonso—hero of the reverse fixture—hitting key triples for Lugo. Andorra briefly led through efforts from Best, Shannon Evans, and Xavier Castañeda, but a late challenge call and Mavra's basket sent Breogán into halftime ahead 48-45.

Breogán pulled away after the break, opening a 62-50 lead on strong shooting from Mihajlo Andric (18 points) and Arnaitovic (12). Andorra struggled with rebounds and turnovers, trailing 77-66 entering the fourth. Coach Zan Tabak's side mounted a 20-33 final-quarter surge, fueled by 17 points from McKoy in the second half, Evans' free throws, and improved defense that drew fouls and forced errors—including the ejection of Breogán's Jordan Sakho.

With the score at 97-96 and 20 seconds left, Rice's layup had given Andorra a 96-95 edge, only for Mavra to respond. Tabak called timeout to design the last play, and Best delivered from the corner. Breogán's final attempt missed, sealing the win.

Best topped Andorra's scoring with 21 points (sources vary slightly on total), followed by Evans (15), Castañeda (13), McKoy (17), and Pustovyi (10). Alonso led Breogán with 18. Officials were Rafael Serrano, Jorge Martínez, and Igor Esteve. Partials: 20-19, 48-45, 77-66, 97-99. The result keeps Andorra level on wins with safety-line teams.
