James Nnaji helps Barcelona sweep Real Madrid for Spanish crown
In Game 3 of the best-of-five El Clasico final series, FC Barcelona defeated Real Madrid 82-93 to win their 20th Spanish League championship.
After two wins in Barcelona, Barcelona completed the 3-0 sweep to recapture the championship that Los Blancos had previously held.
Additionally, Barcelona got some payback for losing to eventual champion Real Madrid in the EuroLeague semifinals.
Barcelona has now won two Spanish League championships in the last three seasons, during which time coach Sarunas Jasikevicius has overseen the new Barca initiative from the sidelines.
With 19 points and three rebounds, Jan Vesely led Barcelona, while four other players scored in double figures.
In his final game with the Catalan squad, Nikola Mirotic scored 14 points and was named Final MVP.
