UNICAJA have missed out on the league play-offs after losing at home to Real Madrid Baloncesto.
The hosts led for 36 minutes but ultimately the Madrid were too strong, winning 76-73.
Despite missing out on the play-offs, the Malaga side can still be proud of a fine season. Winning the Eurocup trophy and qualifying for the Euroleague, as well as reaching the semi-finals of the league playoff represent a massive overachievement of what was expected.
Madrid will play Valencia in the league final on June 9.
