Both overwhelmed this Sunday in their victories over Surne Bilbao Basket and Coviran Granada
MADRID, 21 Ene. (EUROPA PRESS) –
Real Madrid returned to winning ways in the Endesa League this Sunday by beating Surne Bilbao Basket (95-80) on matchday 19, while Barça was also forceful in its victory (61-94) against Coviran Granada.
Chus Mateo’s men changed their face after their defeats against UCAM Murcia and, in the Euroleague this week, against AS Monaco, to please the WiZink Center in an exhibition. Campazzo (10 points, 10 rebounds, 4 recoveries) and Poirier (11 and 7 rebounds), with a PIR of 20 each, led the local performance, with seven players in double digits of PIR.
Madrid struck down the Basques, who barely had the concession of the last quarter when there was no longer an option to return to the match. Mateo’s men thus take advantage of Unicaja’s defeat to once again have two wins in the lead, four over a Barça team that delivered in the morning session in Granada.
Roger Grimau’s men also had the Euroleague thorn in their side, a tough defeat against Anadolu Efes, and they brought out their best offensive version at the Nasrid Sports Palace. Willy Hernangómez (20 points) led the good game for a Barça team that grew especially in the second half. The Andalusians remain with six wins close to the relegation zone after the victory of Río Breogán.
The Galicians added the sixth and tied Monbus Obradoiro and Coviran Granada after beating Bàsquet Girona (93-75). With six players in double figures in scoring, ‘Breo’ signed a vital victory with which they also recovered the basket-average with their rival.
Meanwhile, returning to the upper zone, Valencia Basket came back with a great last quarter against Casademont Zaragoza (75-85). Álex Mumbrú’s team, which recovered fourth place, was dragged through rough terrain until its great final reaction. Semi Ojeleye (21 points and 27 PIR) shone for the ‘taronja’ team.
For its part, Baskonia added its eleventh victory in the League by beating MoraBanc Andorra (108-95). Markus Howard (28 points) and Chima Moneke (26) continued in a state of grace after starring in the Basque victory against Red Star in Belgrade and also ended the Andorran resistance away from home.
