First win of the European season at the Palacio
22-10-2022
Real Madrid got back to winning in the Euroleague after two tight losses in Barcelona and at home in front of an Olympiacos that it's in great shape in the competition's first beats.
Real was always ahead, with a great defense and a very good Sergio Rodriguez on the point guard position from the start. A good team work and Tavares lifted the locals for an 18 point advantage (31-13) early in the second quarter.
Vildoza (former Baskonia) took the stand for the Croatians who rallied before halftime (39-30, min 20) and launched the second half in shape: 44-42 after a three from Bentil, best player for Crvena Zvezvda.
But the Whites response was quick and conclusive: a 10-0 run first, and holding the visitors to only 2 points until the end of the third period (54-44, min 30).
A 5-10 run for Red Star during the first 6:30 minutes in the last period gave them again some hope (59-54, min 36), but Edy Tavares made his appearance in offense as Chus Mateo's men were able to stay strong for the final 72-56 for the locals.
