After a cold start from their offense, the whites got into rhythm and ended up turning the fight around. Frenchman Fabien Causeur was the top scorer for Pablo Laso’s team with 15 points, but the 10 points contributed from the bench by Argentine Nicolás Laprovittola were worth a lot.
The Albiceleste point guard hit three of his nine field attempts (two of five in triples) and made his two free-kicks. In addition, he provided six assists in the almost 24 minutes he was on the court. The other Argentine, Gabriel Deck, stayed at two points in the few moments that he saw action.
Defense was also key for Madrid: it was in charge of leaving Shane Larkin, one of the best scorers in the Euroleague, in seven points, with zero of six in 3-point shots.
With this result, the Madridistas remain on fire and finished with a 12-5 record, the second best in the entire competition, only surpassed by CSKA Moscow.
