The whites, who missed 20 triples out of 22 attempts and lost by 14 in the second quarter, had a difficult time at the end of the game against a Bara team without Laprovittola.

There are little moments that change everything, that stop a train in motion, that wake up someone who seems tangled in a labyrinth. It was not the third charm for Bara, once again fleeced by Real Madrid, three times in a month and a half. And it wasn’t because, when he seemed dominant and sure of himself after a solid start, he fell to the canvas by one of those wild combinations of those of the Chus Mateothe baskets of Deck like hooks to the chin. It was just before the break and nothing was like before. Even so, the white victory was extremely difficult, impossible not to be so with two triples out of 22 attempts. [65-64: Narracin y estadsticas]
It was perhaps the worst Madrid of the season, but it remains unstoppable, 13 wins without defeat, immaculate at home and in Europe. He triumphed again even though he seemed like another Bara, even though his success from the perimeter was disastrous, even though he didn’t have Yabusele y Tavares It went out quickly. He avoided inconveniences, a first 15 minutes to forget and a horrible and strange outcome in which free throws, for better and for worse, decided. Satoransky He had three to even take the game to overtime, but he missed the first.
The Bara had gone to battle without its helm Laprovittola and that perhaps made him squeeze out his defensive excellence, a quarter of an hour of perfection at the start, disconcerting Madrid with the first symptoms of his traffic jam and mistake. “Anxious”, as the technician recognized after him. Not even the appeal of the old guard was of any use to Chus Mateo this time: Chacho, Rudy and Llull suddenly onto the court, but neither the triples arrived nor the targets flowed.

When Willy I went out onto the field, Edy Tavares was no longer on it. And that release helped the Madrid team, once again booed on their return to the Palace, to fill themselves with confidence, to chain 11 points that they shot at the Blaugrana, an astonishing maximum in the face of the roar of the stands (16-30).
Once again at the crossroads, with Tavares back on the bench for the third, Madrid had no choice but to play the ball. That bottom-of-the-hat appeal that has gotten him out of so many troubles in his recent history. With the water up to the neck, Campazzo and Deck They connected to remedy the tragedy before the break. And Bara, like so many others, succumbed to such speed.
It was 12-0 until the horn at the end of the second quarter, crowned with a triple in extremis by Deck: it was his ninth career point and also the first success from the perimeter of 15 attempts. An F5 right at the key moment, a psychological blow to face the second half as if nothing had happened.
That frenzy knocks anyone down, as if a connection of blows from an enraged boxer. On the way back, Bara was another. And Madrid too. Now he didn’t miss Yabusele anymore. Now he avoided rival defensive traps more easily, and Campazzo, huge, continued to connect with almost everyone, especially Deck.
Now run. Because the duel had shed its corsets and in a street runner there are few who can hold the gaze of Madrid. And bad news was piling up for Bara, like Satoransky’s fourth. He was already like a mountaineer facing an avalanche, it seemed that he could only observe how the white cyclone engulfed him, how the ghosts of late returned.
Deck y Poirier
Not even Willy’s return helped the visitors wake up. While an increasingly desperate grimace sought recourse against Deck and Poirierand their team waged war on their own, the white advantage grew and grew: it went from plus 14 to minus 12 (53-41) in just a few minutes.
And ah, with everything apparently resolved, Madrid left WiZink early. In the attempt to remedy the inevitable, Bara approached with stealth and, almost without realizing it, they found themselves with options for a somewhat incredible comeback. Satoransky He scored a couple of baskets in transition and Campazzo couldn’t close out the night. Even a dubious foul in shooting action gave the Czech point guard a chance to have taken the game to overtime. But the first one failed and what was given ended. Madrid remains intact and Barcelona, much more competitive than on the previous two occasions, can continue to boast that they have only lost against one rival so far this season.
