Real Madrid took the lead on Barça in the first game of the Endesa League final, in which the white team won yesterday at the Palau Blaugrana (75-88), led in attack by Gabriel Deck (18 points) and Adam Hanga (16). The bad news of the match was Randolph’s serious injury.
Even without Pablo Laso on the bench, the Madrid team reached the duel in the best dynamics, winning 15 of the last 16 matches, and also the most recent classic, the Euroleague semi-final which seems to have reversed the correlation of forces.
Despite Barça’s final push, with Jokubaitis and Laprovittola at the wheel, Real Madrid, more aggressive and superior at both ends of the court, dominated at all times a game that broke before the break (29-49, min.19), being the clear winner in the battle for the rebound (30 to 38).
