Thompkins and Laprovittola dynamit the triple-based derby

Real Madrid chose the most unequal derby -Students are last in the standings and their neighbor, leader- after a second overwhelming quarter, with Trey Thompkins and Nico Laprovittola in the lead, to end up winning 72-87.

Real Madrid ended the derby in the second quarter. With 7 of 8 triples in the period and a partial 11-31, +20 advantage, any other explanation seems superfluous.

At the beginning of the game, Madrid wanted to lay a solid foundation on the scoreboard from the start, despite having five sensitive casualties, due to injury or rest, such as Rudy, Llull, Randolph, Causeur and Deck, and 2-10 (min .4) seemed to agree with Pablo Laso in his approach.

Trey Thompkins was the executing arm of Madrid, before the mistake of Jaycee Carroll

Students put aside the dejection by the exuberance of their neighbors and supported by a specially inspired Kenny Kadji (11 points in the first act), managed to overcome and arrive matched at the end of the first ten minutes (19-19), although a Facu Campazzo's triple determined the 19-22 with which he finished the first quarter.

In the second, with Mario Nakic (18 years) always on track, the Madrid exhibition arrived. Nico Laprovittola was the one who started it with 3 triples, then Jeff Taylor and, above all, a stellar Thompkins, another three triples without failure. engaged in attack and rebound.

The 30-53 with which he came to rest left the derby very decanted for Madrid

The piston of the match fell almost sharply in the continuation. Only that special feeling of the derbies kept the game afloat in the next twenty minutes.

Students worked in a defensive zone, for subsequent commitments, and Real Madrid maintained the essential level so as not to take any subsequent fright and have a quiet game.

The third quarter concluded with 49-69. Madrid kept the safety margin and Movistar Estudiantes tried not to lower their arms.

In the final ten minutes the status quo was maintained. Madrid, with Jordan Mickey very focused, did not let the advantage diminish too much, and Estu fought against his shortcomings, his bad streak and his uncertain future.

The schoolboys will remain last in the standings and Madrid will be first at the end of the first round, which will allow them to play their first Copa del Rey game on Thursday and, if it happens, have a rest day for the semifinals.
