Four days before their vital match in Istanbul, where the future is played in the Euroleague, Real Madrid fulfilled the logic by defeating an Acunsa Gipuzkoa Basket that will continue one more week at the bottom of the table.
Alex Tyus
(20 points, seven rebounds) and
Nico Laprovittola
(18 points, with four triples)
frustrated a rival where only
where only
Dino Radoncic
gave his face
(19 points, 11 rebounds).
[Narration and statistics (97-71)]
Only a few minutes after Barcelona's resounding triumph in Burgos (77-93), the whites had no problem maintaining their two-win margin against the Catalans.
In fact, not even longing for
Walter Tavares
,
Trey Thompkins
,
Gabriel Deck
or
Fabien Causeur
, reserved by
Pablo Laso
for Thursday's crucial commitment against Fenerbahçe.
After a somewhat hesitant start, with a lot of errors in the launch, the leader of the ACB linked a couple of hits from the perimeter and, helped by the work in the area of
Felipe Reyes
, began to escape.
A 15-7 run forced
Marcelo Nicola
to stop the game as he was 11 down four and a half minutes before the break.
Distribution of efforts
Acunsa could not find solutions in attack and lost the rebound battle.
In addition, he was inspired by an accurate Laprovittola who, with three triples and 11 points in the second quarter, was key in the local takeoff.
Thanks to the Argentine, Madrid went to rest with their highest income (44-30, min 20).
The exchange of blows did not benefit the interests of the bottom.
Real Madrid did not see their dominance in danger and Laso took the opportunity to distribute minutes.
Alberto Abalde
hurt with his baskets and Tyus continued to take advantage of his minutes to gain confidence.
A triple from the corner by
Jeffery Taylor
raised the income for the first time above twenty points and ended the game (67-46, min 30).
With a 2-7 start, the visitors tried to make up the scoreboard, although the white response came from the goal again, with a triple from
Usman Garuba
and two from
Rudy Fernández
.
