win a friday night in istanbulto the leader of the Euroleague, Fenerbahçe, and finish off 48 hours later at home against Valencia Basket (79-62) It is the summary of a magnificent weekend, that of Real Madrid. The white team has not lost since November 6 in Zaragoza, chains eight wins between the ACB and the Euroleague and has risen to second position in both competitions. And what is most important, he continues to take firm steps in his game, in the integration of the pieces to strengthen the collective.
A victory against the taronja squad that came in jerks almost forced by the proximity of the continental battle. It was enough with a good start and a fantastic shot in the third quarter with a 24-7 run to put the +22 (56-34, minute 28). Musa showed that he is good at Valencia and, if in the Euroleague he punished him with 28 points at La Fonteta (ten months ago he had done it with Breogán: 31 and a PIR of 47), this time they were 22 with an express contribution and a 6 of 6 in triples that equals the merengue historical record (Reporting by Oscar Cuesta).
Tavares and Deck were also decisive in the takeoff and, again, the presence of Williams-Goss (with him on the field +32) suited his teammates, especially the Bosnian. Real is still a victory behind Lenovo Tenerife, but already one ahead of Unicaja, Barça (lost on Saturday in Santiago), Gran Canaria (stumbled in Bilbao) and Baskonia. For its part, Valencia falls to 12th place, two wins behind the cup positions.

There were two Madrid in the first half, the one who came out in a rush (17-2 at the junction with minute 7) and suffocated the rival both under the basket and on the perimeter, with Tavares reaching everything inside and outside, and another radically different one, which worsened with the rotations. He lost accuracy and energy, stopped until conceding a 13-25 run. He stopped putting balls inside and leaned more to triple. And, above all, he then gave up 11 defensive rebounds, which allowed Valencia second options and stopped the fast transitions that had done so much damage at the start. Without Chris Jones or Van Rossom, injured, Mumbrú gave minutes to youth squad Guillem Ferrando (recovered from Melilla) and offensive crafting improved over Harper. Pradilla and Prepelic (6 per beard) they put the points to reach the break only five down (32-27). Meritorious. More contribution from James Webb was missingabove all, because his presence implies that Jasiel Rivero is left out (only two non-EU citizens fit and Harper is fixed due to the casualties in the direction).
The reading was of a bad game for Valencia Basket with poor percentages (26% in field goals in the half), but a good result. In progression to throw themselves on top of Real in the third period. Basketball, however, is not arithmetic and Chus Mateo recovered the starting five and Musa and Tavares destroyed the opponent. The forward racked up another three triples for a 6 out of 6 record and 13 points in that third act (22 at the end in just 18:30), while Tavares added 7 points and was a factor throughout the field. And watch out for Williams-Goss, who this time accumulated more minutes. As expected, fits very well with Musa. They complement each other and allow Mateo to have a good defense point guard on the court who alternates with the Bosnian in attack with the ball in hand. With Goss, at 15:32, +32 we said. It is not bad data.
And don’t forget Deckwho grabbed the rebounds that escaped before to finish off in the third quarter and finish with eight sacks and … five assists. The 24-7 whiplash at the welcome of the second half resolved the pulse (56-34) and ended the mathematics of the taronja comeback. Madrid remains alone in the pursuit of the leaderthe Lenovo Tenerife.
