Real Madrid Overcomes Curse and Ties Euroleague Regular Season Lead

Madrid doesn’t know about curses or at least they don’t care about them. That’s why tied the lead of the regular season in the Euroleague in Belgrade. With the current format, no one has won the title since that first place. But no one had ever overcome a 0-2 in a playoff tie either… The Whites did it last year against Partizan, precisely their victim this Thursday (76-88). They arrive at 25 wins, equaling the top. So far, an extraordinary European course for now.

The one who made Madrid leader was mainly Hezonja. Decisive 48 hours ago in Berlin, he left another of those performances in which he shows the best of his repertoire. White people may miss them in the future. He finished with 25 points, six rebounds, four assists and a PIR of 33.

The Croatian scored 10 points in the third period, when a hitherto terrible clash broke up, with a lot of equality and little success: 13-13 at the end of the first quarter and 31-33 at halftime with terrible percentages from both teams (11/32 and 10/36, respectively, in field goals and a cumulative 5/27 in triples).

Campazzo’s awakening helped a lotwho played four minutes in the first half when he was injured, but did seven points and distributed three assists in the 0-16 run that ended the match (54-68). C closed itauseur, notablewith a steal after a baseline kick.

Until then they had seen each other 18 leader changes and the most for any team had been the five points from the initial 5-0. Later, Partizan disintegrated due to the rise in intensity of Madrid and Facu’s direction.

Solved a problem in the direction

Without Sergio Rodríguez, without Llull (also without Rudy) and with Campazzo touchedMadrid solved their problems at the point guard position with some minutes from Alocén, others from Abalde at the helm and even Hezonja raised the ball on occasions. The boy is good for everything.

Partizan, chasing the play-in, needs more than a hellish atmosphere. Short Leday y Kaminsky was the best (19 points). He had a beautiful scoring duel with Hezonja in the third act. With the game already very difficult, it appeared Punter. Little to try to stop to the leader, who will have to overcome a curse if he wants to repeat the title.
