After just 3 minutes of the 3rd quarter action, the lead had ballooned to 21 points (37:58) thanks to Barcelona's long range accuracy. Sandra Gallego (3/6 3-pointers), Andrea Congreaves (3/4) and Maria Rovira (2/2) were particularly effective from behind the arc.
The 3rd period ended 47:76 in favour of the visitors, and Barcelona did just enough in the 4th to close the game with an easy victory.
5 Barcelona players scored in double figures, led by 206 cm center Silvia Mesa who had 18 points and 9 rebounds, easily her best game so far this season in Europe.
Czech forward Eva Nemcova led CariChieti with 14 points and 7 rebounds.
