MADRID, 11 May. (EUROPA PRESS) –
Real Madrid won (90-69) this Wednesday against UCAM Murcia on matchday 33 of the Endesa League, distancing their rival from the ‘playoffs’ for the title, while Monbus Obradoiro beat Joventut at home to certify their permanence.
Pablo Laso’s team added its fifth victory in a row, fueling the decisive stretch of the course, facing the ‘Final Four’ of the Euroleague and the domestic fight. Tavares (14 points and 9 rebounds) stood out at the WiZink Center, where the Whites struck the decisive blow in the third quarter (27-12).
UCAM, in search of the results and the game lost in recent weeks, was far from changing the inertia, and will need a defeat by Gran Canaria on Saturday in the last day to have a chance of finishing eighth. The fight is up and down with one game to go before the end of the regular season.
‘Obra’, like Coosur Real Betis the day before, escaped the fire with their salvation, but there will be four teams left pending the two relegation places. Despite the last two defeats, the Galician team reached a final in Badalona with Birutis (20 points), Ellenson (11 and 7 rebounds) and Robertson (15). Tomic led the reaction of the ‘Penya’, but in the last quarter the Obradoiro took faith again to avoid a final day of life or death.
After losing the final of the FIBA Champions League, BAXI Manresa took refuge in their good league position with a win (95-100) over Unicaja. After three defeats, Pedro Martínez’s men achieved their twentieth victory, looking for the best position for crosses, with a great Chima Moneke (23 points and 8 rebounds).
The Catalans remain seventh, with Bitci Baskonia fifth and Lenovo Tenerife sixth, all three in 20, after the victory of the Basques against the Canary Islands (78-91). Marinkovic’s 17 points in the first half and Giedreaitis’ triples (22 points) knocked out the ‘Champions’ champion in a direct duel.
