Liga Endesa Weekend Round-up Day 32: Wong, De Julius, Taylor, and Forrest Shine for American Stars

The Liga Endesa weekend of May 16-17 delivered drama, blowouts, and individual brilliance in equal measure. Across four matches on Day 32, American players were at the center of the action, shaping results from both sides of the scoreboard. Here is a look at how each of them performed.

Isaiah Wong Fights Hard but Can’t Save Gran Canaria

Isaiah Wong gave everything he had in Gran Canaria‘s narrow 72-75 home loss to Hiopos Lleida. The guard finished as his team’s top scorer with 21 points, adding 3 rebounds and 2 assists in 30 minutes and 30 seconds on the floor.

In a game decided by just three points, Wong’s offensive output kept Gran Canaria in contention until the final buzzer. Unfortunately, his efficiency wasn’t enough to swing the result, as Lleida escaped with a hard-fought road victory.

De Julius Orchestrates a Dominant Murcia Victory

At UCAM Murcia, David De Julius played a quieter but equally effective role in a dominant 87-69 home win over Unicaja. The American guard finished with 15 points, 6 assists, and 3 rebounds in just 24 minutes and 30 seconds. His ability to run the offense smoothly while contributing on the scoreboard helped Murcia control the game from start to finish. An 18-point margin of victory says it all — De Julius and his teammates were simply too much for Unicaja to handle.

Taylor’s Double-Double in Under 12 Minutes Steals the Show

The most eye-catching performance of the weekend undoubtedly belonged to Kameron Taylor. The Valencia Basket forward delivered a staggering 10 rebounds, 16 points, and 5 assists in just 11 minutes and 48 seconds of playing time — numbers that would be impressive in a full game, let alone in under 12 minutes.

His dominance on the boards proved decisive as Valencia held off Bilbao Basket 88-83 in a tense five-point home victory. Taylor’s all-around production in such a limited stint was a reminder of just how impactful an elite rebounder can be in crucial moments.

Forrest Contributes to Baskonia’s Dominant Blowout

Finally, in the most lopsided result of the weekend, Trent Forrest helped Baskonia Vitoria-Gasteiz dismantle Coviran Granada 121-85. The American guard contributed 16 points, 3 rebounds, and 3 assists in 21 minutes and 54 seconds, providing steady floor leadership and reliable scoring as Baskonia rolled to a 36-point blowout. Forrest’s composure and playmaking helped Baskonia maintain their rhythm throughout a dominant team performance.

American Depth on Full Display

Day 32 of Liga Endesa once again underlined the depth of American talent scattered across Spain’s top division. Whether carrying a team in a losing effort like Wong, orchestrating a convincing win like De Julius, producing a historic efficiency burst like Taylor, or contributing to a rout like Forrest, these four players each told a different story — and made the weekend well worth watching.
