MADRID, 12 Dic. (EUROPA PRESS) –
Real Madrid beat Unicaja (79-74) this Sunday on matchday 13 of the Endesa League, to maintain its lead alone (12-1) against a Barça that also overcame an uncomfortable commitment against Lenovo Tenerife (60- 75).
After the Classic in the Euroleague between whites and Catalans, which Barça stayed at the Palau to command in the continental competition, Pablo Laso’s men kept the lead at home thanks in large part to the success of Sergio Llull, who triggered the break after the break.
The Spaniard signed four triples in the third quarter and left behind a Unicaja who did not stop fighting in search of the ‘Top 8’. Despite conceding 31 points, the Andalusian team forced the whites to keep their foot on the accelerator, who mathematically sealed their presence in the Copa del Rey in Granada.
Meanwhile, Barça (11-2) prevented Tenerife from getting on their beards and left the Canaries with 8 victories, tied with three teams. The culé team was suffocating its rival in defense, with a Mirotic (18 points, 6 rebounds and a PIR of 22) who, after being the best in the Classic, was again in La Laguna.
In addition, the Breogán River recovered the taste of victory after suffering the postponement of its last two matches, by beating (83-74) MoraBanc Andorra. Meanwhile, Urbas Fuenlabrada added its fourth victory at the expense of a direct rival in the lower zone, a Casademont Zaragoza, which it equaled in the table (74-85).
