The match

With two 3-pointers by Yabusele, Real Madrid started the game “haunted” (2-10), Virtus somehow managed to get the difference (6-10), but with an incredible run the Spaniards opened the gap to extreme levels (6-23) , with the 12-26 of the first quarter to be… honorable for the Italians. After a great effort from the home team and a show from Belinelli, 23-38 turned into 31-38, which gave hope. However, the visitors hit the gas and with an incredible buzzer beater from the Frenchman, the visitors escaped to +17 (33-50) at halftime.

Aiming to get back into the game, the Virtus players “pressed” the gas and reduced to -9 (43-52), but things quickly returned to the “factory” settings (43-58). Things have generally flown at these levels, with Tavares maintaining a +10 (58-68). Two consecutive 3-pointers by Hezonia at the beginning of the fourth quarter were enough for the Spanish team to escape (58-74) and effectively end the process, with the final (79-96) to clearly capture the image of the match.

The quarters: 12-26, 33-50, 58-68, 79-96.
