• Classification: this is the ACB

On the court basketball was pronounced strong after a week in which the Heurtel case had fanned the embers of eternal rivalry.

The Christmas Classic was Barça, a triumph of power commanded by Mirotic and ended in a final act in which Real Madrid seemed lacking in energy and decision when Barça hit the accelerator hard.

There was broken an equality that had previously left a battle of carats.

A victory that breaks White's unbeaten record in ACB and is Jasikevicius' second in a row after the Super Cup final.

A classic that closes the year with the flames of controversy lit in the offices but with excellent promises of rivalry on the parquet, a 2021 of fireworks between Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​postponed from the 2020 pandemic.

He celebrated Mirotic, because his was the night, at last.

26 points and a thousand more things, like a block to Laprovittola in the desperate attempt of a local comeback.

But, mainly, the feeling that there was no antitode against him, the center of attention and energy, the leader of a triumph that, nevertheless, was forged when he rested, with a pull midway through the last quarter before which the whites were left behind. stone.

Since dawn, an important Mirotic had been verified, assuming the leading role, this time without decibels against it in his visit to what was his home.

He danced with Garuba, another youth squad like him, perhaps a future rival in the national team.

And it hurt his inexperience, destroying Usman, who Laso endured on the court despite the gale.

12 Mirotic points nailed to the boy's pride, invaluable lessons for the future.

Because the global battle, which started frenzied, remained even.

The white problem was localized.

But that did not stop being a problem.

With Deck, for a moment, Mirotic's life began to be less simple, but it was Barça who took the initiative.

Although he did not finish showing it on the scoreboard, despite the escape attempts (31-36), to which Madrid managed to respond, now with Deck himself and Llull leading the way.

At times the baskets of Barça seemed simple and those of Madrid pure torture.

But they came and that punishment was double for those of Jasikevicius.

Higgins' penetrations responded to Llull's triples.

Or vice versa.

Because, as Estopa sounded at rest, "here there is no God who laughs."

With a tie at 46, of course.

The demand was brutal.

On the way back, Mirotic's display reached one of its climaxes.

Well now Garuba was gone and the gobbled was Deck.

Plethora the Montenegrin.

But for a moment it happened like those recurring deployments of Tomic, another ex, who barely served his team.

Because Barça did not reflect their feelings, their advantage was minimal, even when Higgins left Tavares one of the dunks of the year.

Equality was unbearable.

As if both had already resigned themselves to the fact that the classic was destined to be resolved in the same abyss.

But they did not advance by stumbling because there were more successes than mistakes in the WiZink, individual wealth to a great match only orphan of environment.

Curiously, it was without Mirotic on the court that Barça shook the duel, the maximum with four minutes to go after a triple by Kuric (72-84).

Madrid entered a spin, without offensive ideas before the step forward of the Catalans.

Llull's penetrations and Rudy's triples no longer had an effect, nor did they touch the rim.

Not even the classic attempt at the heroic.
