A rival is hunted for the Palace, the place the 10-time European champion reveals a cruising velocity that dismantles any risk. The Greek barely existed and, from much less to extra, Madrid put the 10-Three on the desk, to a victory of Efes. 'Facu' Campazzo (15 factors and 6 assists), Randolph (15) and the second a part of Causeur (18) stood out within the choral recreation of a Madrid that broke the duel within the third quarter (31-18).

The steamroller that Madrid has parked on the Palace took 5 minutes to take motion. A begin with extra losses than factors between the 2 groups gave approach to the same old white superiority. To make two factors in 5 minutes to end with 21 the primary quarter. The struggle of Deck and Tavares within the rebound, and the success of Randolph and Campazzo gave the primary blow within the parquet of Goya.

The success went down and the tackle of Laprovittola didn’t get to set (41-30).

With out Vasilis Spanoulis, injured, and much from Piraeus, Olympiacos turned a simple prey. After the break adopted the identical script, though this time with out making a gift of these 5 minutes. Tavares received the long-awaited duel with Milutinov and Madrid at all times maintained a cushty revenue (46-34).
