The match
Real started the game strongly, gaining an early lead of +7 (9-2), which Baskonia almost managed to erase (16-14). Nevertheless, the Madrid players were able to lead by +5 (22-17) at the end of the first quarter. The Basques did not give up and with determination passed for the first time (28-29). They even led by +6 (32-38), but the home team found the solutions and went to halftime with an honest +3 (43-40).
The guests, with Kochar as the main spokesperson but also with the help of the three-pointers, turned the situation around again (47-52) and continuing her… violin, escaping to +9 (50-59)! The reversal happened again and the score was changed with Moussa’s signature to 60-59 and then to 65-62, for the end of the third quarter! Things came to a tie (71-71), with Real taking a victory step with a mini-series (78-71). The match turned again (81-81) out of nowhere, with Costello getting three points in “dead” time and achieving… four points (81-85)!
