The Burgos effect, the threat of one of the most interesting teams of the ACB, was diluted in the Palace. There was not even a hint of battle (just a reaction of pride in the last act, led by McFadden), unbalanced everything from as soon as Real Madrid only had to maintain its enormous advantage. And with mattress, talent flows more easily. Like Trey Thompkins's class, definitely back. [104-93: Narration and statistics]

Nothing like trust so that warriors do not abandon faith even in the lowest moments of performance. The virtues of Pablo Laso are different, those intangibles that win titles and mark times. Patience and common sense above almost everything . The match against Burgos, a beating from beginning to end, showed it with three clear examples.

In order of events, the ownership of the youth squad Mario Nakic , a promise with few options to have minutes in the powerful white exterior rotation. Before the fourth classified of the ACB, undoubtedly the revelation team with the Joventut, his coach rewarded the efforts that no one sees of a player without the physical presence or personality of Usman Garuba, with whom he shares generation, who was also on the court then sharing paint with his mentor. Because Felipe Reyes returned to play almost two months later, already recovered from his injury to the labrum, although he had to leave with a puncture in the thigh, in his particular calvary.

The other proper name was that of Thompkins, absolute protagonist of the Palace night (although the one that conditioned the duel, as so many other times, was Tavares). He already left brushstrokes of his redemption last Thursday against Valencia in Euroleague. For Burgos it was a torment, demonstrating that he has already overcome that physical neglect - the extra kilos ... - and surely also the attitude that brought back the holidays and that made Madrid leave him without a card. The offensive talent of the power forward, punctually key man of the Laso era: 27 points and seven rebounds, plus an amazing triple from his own field that was not worth very little.

Laprovittola also seems to be slowly getting into the car of the requirement of Real Madrid. The last MVP of the Endesa League did not finish finding its rhythm in the white rotation, in contrast to the dominance and fluency that compatriot Campazzo grants. And yet, it seems fundamental, more with Llull off. Also against Valencia he finally had sweet minutes and yesterday, at the festival against Burgos, he hammered Joan Peñarroya with the second unit, especially in the second quarter.

The game broke in the same dawn. An 18-2 exit, with Tavares obscuring everything and the San Pablo failing and losing balls, which marked the remains. Despite the attempts of Fitipaldo and Benite and especially the end of McFadden (94-86 in the absence of four minutes), the Castilian team, which had been signing an excellent course, with all the options of still playing next, has not recovered Cup. There was Deck to stop any final rebellion.

Madrid maintained the offensive rhythm of Thursday, forgotten already the drought of Zaragoza. Another night of abundance and success, above 100 as if nothing. The WiZink parties. Without Randolph, without Llull and without Jordan Mickey.
