Real's consistency proves to be too much for Joventut
17-10-2022
Real Madrid was hosting Joventut Badalona on the fourth game of the season on a much more ofensive game than the one the Whites played in Barcelona on Thursday.
An inspired Joventut was able to score 25 points on each of the first two quarters of the game and lead for as many as 8 points with 5 minutes left on the second period (32-40, min 15), but Real has an amazing roster and the locals, even though not very accurate, trailed only by 5 points at halftime (45-50). Yabusele and Musa were Real's best men on the court.
The Whites were more focused after halftime and got a 9-2 run that was giving them the lead at the scoreboard. But Joventut found the way to stand thanks to Guy and Tomic and the game was still tight entering the last 10 minutes (69-65, min 30).
But Real's accuracy was much better in the last quarter, and a new run got them a 10 point margin that enlarged to the 14 points by mid period (83-69). It was too much for the visitors and Madrid cruised until the end of the game for the final 96-79.
