El Real Madrid I did not take advantage of the stumbles of Only Y CSKA and succumbed to him Baskonia (64-84) in a party that the Vitoria citizens dominated with authority. The whites missed Tavares, who was limping and did not leave the headline, and when they wanted to realize it they already had an Everest on top after a dire start (9-23, min 8). When the giant entered, the whites (46-48, min 27), but he resented and there the game was over for them.
For better or for worse, today they live and die for Tavares. And yesterday they succumbed for that and because the Baskonia it was huge. Jekiri (9) and Giedraitis (14) in the first part and Peters (16), Polonara (18) and Vildoza (13), exalted in the second, settled the balance. It didn’t even take that Henry rolled up his sleeves. Did not score but attended at discretion (6 + 10), and the Baskonia he suffocated his rival with his intensity, who wanted but could not.
Laso surprised at the beginning with Llull and leaving Tavares on the bench, two concessions that the Baskonia I took advantage. Jekiri, without the wall in front, they desecrate the white zone as many times as they wanted,, Sedekerskis abuse of Llull taking him to positions close to the rimDeck I was with Henry) and the Baskonia vol (9-23, min 8).
The Baskonists, with Henry less incisive but more generous (6 assists in the first act), they played at pleasure (9/11 t2 y 3/5 t3) before the defensive consent of the Madridistas, who only made one foul in that first act. Red carpet for the Vitorian takeoff (15-28, min 10).
In minute 11 Laso I finally put on the court Tavares Y Conversationalist, but it was the triples of Abalde Y Thompkins those who gave air to Madrid (23-30, min 13). Diop, who stood up to the white giant, and Giedraitis they re-launched their own (23-37, min 19).
Then it gets hot Tavares and the party changed. In a flash he had six rebounds, intimidated and assisted. It was key for the Madrid put a couple more gears in defense. And in attack obr a 11-0 with the triples by Chateur, Rudy y Alocn (34-37, min 20).
Like Madrid with a triple by Llull (39-39), but a great Polonara shot of the Baskonia . Tavares he squeezed, but he felt discomfort in his right leg (maybe that’s why he did not play at the beginning) and he went to the bench leaving his team an orphan, who saw how Polonara Y Vildoza they kept him away from triumph (52-60, min 30).
Abalde and Alocn they made the rubber (57-62), but two triples of Peters and two others from Polonara they put the victory on a tray to the vitorianos (59-74, min 36). The limping Tavares He returned to the court, but it was too late to overcome that disadvantage, even with him on the court and the Baskonia sell a well deserved triumph with triples by Peters and Polonara.
