• 55-77 in Vitoria. Narration and statistics
  • Classification 15th day

On the way they crossed a fighter plane sailing at cruising speed and a clueless and depressed bird that is not quite right to fly. And what had to happen happened, that Real Madrid went through the Buesa Arena as Hannibal in the Alps. He only lacked the elephants to finish completing a new exhibition in this Euroleague, which already has 10 consecutive wins since that indigestible journey through Kaunas, Istanbul and Munich at the dawn of a season and more than on track.

Pablo Laso's team rummaged in the wound of a Baskonia who bleeds without finding a remedy for his obvious hemorrhage. The defeats themselves have long been the least, since the feelings emanating from the Barca dressing room, four times battered with viciousness in the last 35 days, are even worse.

Perasovic has been so long with the water around his neck that he may have learned to breathe through the gills as he can. That either much changes the thing or it will happen sooner rather than later, because Josean Querejeta's patience is far from infinite. Nothing helps that 15% of success in triples (4/26) with which they gave Thursday to their suffered hobby.

Tribute to Vidal and Rakocevic

There was no resemblance to the electric league duel of a month and a half ago that Deck resolved in the last breath. Last night Madrid did not even give hope for Baskonia. After the tribute that the Vitorian team paid to Vidal and Rakocevic, two of his greatest legends, Real Madrid served himself, decorating the sunrise with a 0-8 that was going to cause the first of Peras' many dislikes.

Baskonia was able to regain the pulse of the game, stopping the first white unit in what was left of the first quarter, until reaching the 13-point game. From then on, however, Real Madrid unleashed a perfect storm that erased its rival from the map. 13 consecutive points that undressed all the shame of Perasovic's for the greater glory of Laprovittola, Thompkins, Mickey and Rudy Fernández.

The white substitutes completed a bright second quarter, with 30 points in their locker, and left the game so much in their favor that it seemed impossible that Baskonia could turn it around, no matter how much 20 minutes left.

Shields Solitude

Despite the evidence, Baskonia did not give up in the third quarter, led by Shields, his best man in such a lavish evening. He kept the pulse in a quarter that even won and managed to reduce the disadvantage to 11 points (46-57) after two free throws by Shengelia on the first play of the decisive fourth.

But Madrid, as a good predator, brought out its jaws to shine as soon as it felt that timid threat. Mickey, Rudy and Laprovittola reactivated the roller and shattered the Vitorian illusions with it, placing a maximum difference of 20 points (46-66) seven minutes from the end. Thereafter, Buesa's fans were divided between those who left early and those who wanted to pay a final tribute to Rakocevic. Because there was nothing to see on the track.
