Baskonia falls in the Euroleague against Real Madrid (89-74)

Real Madrid, supported by the magical trio made up of Guerschon Yabusele, Alberto Abalde and Anthony Randolph, put an end to the scant opposition of a Baskonia team that couldn’t find a way to stop their rival (89-74).

Superlative in attack was the start of Real Madrid, so much so that at 3.30 minutes (11-6) Neven Spahija had to stop the game because Pablo Laso’s team scored everything that came out of their hands. 25 points endorsed him Madrid in the first quarter to a Baskonia that did not know how to take advantage of the absence of Walter Tavares, positive for covid-19.

Real Madrid continued to see the hoop with relative ease, while Baskonia did not know how to find the key to stop their rival and always seemed to be a couple of steps behind.

Al break, 50-35, Wade Baldwin was uncomfortable, 6 points; Jason Granger off, 6 points, and Rokas Giedraitis off, 5 points.

There were no big changes to the state of the game in the sequel. Real Madrid continued to dominate the rebound and cancel out the theoretical strengths of the Baskonistas, who did not find any player who took a step forward.

Thus, the third act ended with 69-50 and the victory more than on track.

Real Madrid lowered the piston a bit in defense and their success in attack also declined, so Baskonia began to make up the result. The thing did not go further and Real Madrid ended up winning by 89-74.
