Real Madrid sweat the victory in Manresa to consolidate the leadership

MADRID, 4 One. (EUROPA PRESS) –

Real Madrid achieved a hard-working victory this Tuesday against BAXI Manresa (87-92) in its first game of the year, corresponding to matchday 17 of the Endesa League, thanks to a great reaction in the last five minutes that allow it to remain solid in the lead, while Unicaja resumed the path of victory against Casademont Zaragoza.

In Nou Congost, Pablo Laso’s team had to sweat to remain undefeated at home after a very tight finish. The meringues, already with all the players recovered from COVID, grabbed at the points of Walter Tavares (19 and 13 rebounds) and Rudy Fernández (15), who was vital with two steals with 85-85 on the scoreboard with two to go minutes to go.

The Balearic escort dynamited the match and left Manresa with no options, which was splendid, forcing the whites to give their best level, especially at the beginning of the clash. Joe Thomasson stood out at home thanks to his 15 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists. However, it was not enough to bring down the leader of the Endesa League.

Real Madrid, after 12 days inactive due to the numerous positives for coronavirus in its squad, becomes the second team to win this season on the BAXI Manresa court after Valencia Basket at the beginning of the course.

For its part, Unicaja de Málaga won again after two consecutive defeats in the domestic tournament. The Andalusians crushed Casademont Zaragoza (112-72) this Tuesday with a great performance from Axel Bouteille, author of 19 points, Jonathan Barreiro (17) and Jaime Fernández, who delivered 11 assists.

These three players led the resounding victory of a Unicaja who had no mercy on the Aragonese team – he won all the quarters except the first – and is placed in the tenth position of the table. The Casademont, for its part, remains in twelfth place.
