Ibon Navarro's men stunned another favorite Real Madrid in the semis 93-82 (17-19, 22-20, 27-20, 27-23).

Unicaja made history, as no team has beaten Madrid and Barca in the same Spanish Cup since 1953.

The last Copa where Real and Barcelona were not in the grand final was in 2009 (Baskonia vs. Unicaja). Interestingly, all four EuroLeague teams -- Valencia, Baskonia, Real, and Barca -- have already been eliminated from the tournament.

Unicaja's David Kravish was the top performer on the court tonight, posting 20 points (5/7 2PT, 2/4 3PT, 4/4 FT), 6 rebounds, and 24 PIR.

Malaga is scheduled to meet either host Joventut or Tenerife in Sunday's final at 19:00 CET.

Unicaja: David Kravish 20 (6 REB), Dylan Osetkowski 14, Tyson Carter 12 (5 AST), Tyler Kalinoski 11 (6 REB), Kendrick Perry 10.

Real: Walter Tavares 19, Gabriel Deck 15 (6 REB), Dzanan Musa 10.
