The azulgranas, with a very solvent defense, achieved a decisive advantage in the last quarter after a very even duel
––
And the day arrived. Pablo Laso’s Real Madrid saw its winning streak cut yesterday (82-87) after chaining fourteen wins in as many games. And it is not just any defeat when you face the eternal rival. Barcelona managed to win a very physical match after a highly contested match and in which both the defense designed by Jasikevicius and the success of the Barça three-pointer were key in the decisive moments that allowed them to break the balance on the scoreboard.
From the first minutes he was already aiming for an even duel, with very short advantages both for one side and the other. It was clear that the game was going to be decided by small details, given the equality that exists between the two best squads in the ACB.
The game reached the equator equal to 46 points, with some concern on the part of the coaches in the face of the deficiencies that the defensive systems at some point showed. Barcelona adjusted their vigilance better against the white shooters in the last quarter and guided by Mirotic, Kuric and a splendid Higgins generated a small gap that became immense for the whites, who fought until the end without being able to avoid the first defeat of the course.
