They had an advantage before the kickoff since they were playing at the WiZink Center in front of their home crowd.

Pablo Lazo’s proteges entered this match with the firm intention of keeping up with their winning streak.

Real Madrid started the match with a rather feverish manner excitement and rose in power as the match progressed, taking their marks in such a way that in the first quarter there was a real difference with the visitors.

Real settled in the opposing surface and dominated it; the host was however scared in the second quarter, they lowered their guard and were therefore surprised especially with the realism of Cherry Will, Gergios Printezis and Kostas Papanikolaou.

The third quarter was marked by the joining of the French forward of the white team Fabien Casseur MVP to the game of the match, He impressed the crowd by scoring 18 points in the space of just 17 minutes.

After joining the game in the second half, the French did exactly what his coach asked him: he brought freshness to his teammates who were already giving up.

The Greek team showed that it did not come as tourists and played the third quarter with rage, helped by the obvious tiredness of Real Madrid players which, it is important to highlight, played without some its stars such as Llull.

Unfortunately, their efforts were not enough to catch up with the delay accumulated during the first and second quarters.

What shall be remembered from this match, therefore, is the winning coaching of Pablo Lazo with Casseur and the late reaction of the visitors.

The two coaches will surely analyze what worked well during the match and what did not and will try to find solutions that will improve the performance of their respective teams.
