There is no inconsequential night at WiZink. On a rainy Good Friday there is no better attraction in the capital, although neither Real Madrid nor Red Star, the two contenders, had anything at stake at this point in the Euroleague in which everyone is fighting to get into the playoffs. There was fun, star performances, lots of points and even a trademark comeback.

Campazzo, nor Poirier, nor Deck
did not play for rest ), Madrid fell by 16 (54-70) against a Red Star team that, despite their names, time that he lost any option to compete, not even the new Euroleague play in. It was just a matter of applying some energy and nullifying the veteran talent

Musa and Hezonja
to the delight of the packed stands.
