  Narration and statistics
  

Since that first defeat in the 2018 playoffs, Real Madrid has not lost to Panathinaikos again. He won the next three games of that tie to return to the Final Four, on his way to his Tenth Part, and with that of Monday there are also 10 victories in this classic European basketball (96-78). Facundo Campazzo and Edy Tavares, the point and the i, led the win with a double-double each. If the results match, Pablo Laso's will be able to seal his ticket for the playoffs this week.

The negative note was left by Jordan Mickey's injury. The American sprained his ankle when he picked up a rebound at the beginning of the second quarter and did not re-enter the game. If the bad news is confirmed, the Real Madrid indoor game will remain with tweezers, although the proposal sounds indecent in a team with Edy Tavares, the most decisive pvot of the Euroleague.

Tavares and tortur al Panathinaikos in Athens and this Monday he grew again before one of the few rivals who, for size, can look him in the eye. The giant Papagiannis was reduced to a mere footnote in another great Cape Verdean match: 15 points and 10 rebounds. Uncontainable under the hoop, owner of the boards and, as a curiosity, leading scorer for Real Madrid for the first time in the Euroleague.

Thompkins's blows

If Tavares responded by Mickey's absence, Trey Thompkins is doing it by Anthony Randolph's. Never be as versatile as your compatriot in defense, but you have plenty of points to nourish the score. The Panathinaikos stood with the gum overnight until three Thompkins class blows left him wounded in the area. The Georgia opened the final gap with seven points in a minute and a half a 10-2.

Until there came Panathinaikos, who saw how the defense of Real Madrid managed to deactivate Nick Calathes, one of the great directors of the Euroleague. If yours is not unnime, it is because Campazzo exists, who adds another recital to the list. The Argentine does not spend time in presentations: 18 of the 23 first points of the whites left their hands, either as a basket or pass to a partner. I finished with 14 points, 10 rebounds and 3 steals this weird Monday evening: the game was ahead because the rest of the week the WiZink Center will be occupied by an ice skating show.

Seven in double digits

Without Randolph, Llull, Taylor, or Causeur, it falls of last hour, until seven players of Real Madrid scored in double digits, making good that premise of Pablo Laso to cover the losses with a step in front of each one. It is given by Laprovittola (10 points, 6 assists), more toned in the last matches; and Carroll (11), already overcame that navideo pothole. And men like Deck or Rudy Fernndez keep it, safe values ​​for the technician.

With this victory, the tenth followed against Panathinaikos, Real Madrid already caresses the Euroleague playoff ticket and remains intractable at home: there are already 12 wins and a single defeat against Efes, the rival to beat this season .
