The Merengue, the most successful in the competition, were led by four lengths with 45 seconds remaining (78-74), before an award-winning shot from Sergio Rodriguez then the basket from Llull. The two grognards of this Real who takes his revenge for the final last year, lost against Efes Istanbul (59-58).
The point of difference this time is in his favor and has silenced the noisy 5,000 supporters of Piraeus, all dressed in red, stunned at the final whistle.
After the last failed attempt of their hero Kostas Sloukas – author of the shot of the victory of match 3 in quarters against Fenerbahçe – in this Zalgirio Arena which they were the only ones to heat during this weekend of Final Four, booing the adversaries and singing to the glory of their heroes.
