11-06-2019
Real is back in the league finals with a perfect sheet after beating Valencia in la Fonteta for the 3-0 in the series and the pass. The Whites wait the winner of the other semi final, in which Barcelona leads Zaragoza 2-0.
Valencia started strong in offense and aggressive on defense as they could only use a win. But Real, thanks to Rudy and Jeffery Taylor and a 2-11 run were able to take the lead by the end of the first 10 minutes (19-20).
In the second period the benches reproduced the first 10 minutes dynamics: the Taronjas got a hard small lead but Real cut it off and the hosts went to the locker room with a 3 point advantage by half time (38-35).
The 3rd quarter was an epic exchange of baskets on both sides: 28 points from the visitors in the period, 4 threes from Dubljevic, 9 points from a very active Randolph and a 3+1 from Campazzo on the buzzer for Laso's men leading 60-63.
In the last 10 minutes Real led the way thanks again to a great team work; the Whites got a maximum margin thanks to Felipe Reyes scoring after grabbing an offensive rebound (72-79 min 37). The locals succeeded to get closer again (78-79, min 38) thanks to Van Rossom, but Llull and Campazzo scored again for Real and Valencia had no answer this time.
At the end of the game new victory (78-85) for Real Madrid that gives them the series (3-0) and the pass to the league Finals in which they have home court advantage.
