Real Madrid shows off on a new European win
16-10-2021
Real Madrid’s first quarter was excellent: lead by Abalde and Yabusele the Whites scored 30 points again in the first 10 minutes and had a 12 point margin after a three from Sergio Llull by the buzzer (30-18, min. 10).
The visitors had to build from the defense and made some adjustments. The score decreased but the Greeks were not able to reduce Real’s margin at the scoreboard. Heurtel and Abalde were now the local’s bastions while Papagiannis and Papapetrou lead their team. At halftime, Laso’s men were still in command by 12 points, 42-30.
Panathinaikos tried hard coming off the locker room specially thanks to an efficient Macron, but the team from Athens found always a response from Real’s men: Tavares (31 PIR at the end of the game), Causeur and Poirier were the best scorers for the locals who managed to stay 12 points ahead at the end of the period (62-50, min. 30).
Real had a great start of the last quarter with Poirier scoring in the paint and Rudy from the distance, and Panathinaikos was this tome not able to keep up to the hosts' pace. The Whites cruised until the end of the game still scoring comfortably taking the last quarter’s run for a final 23 point win (88-65, min. 40).
