The Real Madrid, leader of the competition. needed to reaffirm in the League after regaining sensations in Europe and he did so by breaking the streak of three consecutive wins of a reborn Hereda San Pablo Burgos whom dominoes on the scoreboard from start to finish to finish prevailing by 70-85.
After two years of waiting due to the pandemic -the last match without capacity limitation was on March 7, 2020 against Fuenlabrada- to see the Coliseum full again and demonstrate the loyalty of one of the best fansthe team from Burgos found themselves with a solid version of the white team where the Frenchman Yabusele stood out with his devastating triples.
Pablo Laso surprised the start by giving command of the game to the young Juan Núñez, who took advantage of the lack of intensity with which the local team entered the match stop opening the gap with a 0-7 run that forced Paco Olmos to immediately request a time-out.
The effectiveness of Frenchman Yabusele’s three-pointers, together with Tavares’ interior superiority, allowed the Whites to take control of the match against a blue team that was jerky and had problems scoring what they did lose track of your rival which doubled him on the scoreboard (11-22).
The second quarter showed a more solvent defensive image of San Pablo Burgos, although Real Madrid secured their lead from 6.25 where their effectiveness contrasted with the lack of aim from Burgos which at least stopped the inside bleeding, with the added advantage of Tavares’ early third foul (minute 16).
Sergio Llull he showed his sweet moment again adding to the exterior success to answer some hint of insurrection, but with income always close to ten, along with some growth spurt (28-41) that left the Burgos team reduced to eleven points at halftime.
The staging after going through the locker room was, if possible, more forceful than at the start of the match, first repeating the 0-7 and extending the lead to twenty (33-53). But Olmos’ team was not willing to give up the game so easily and answered with a 7-0 run that forced Laso to stop the game and regain control and maintain a reassuring distance in the last quarter (47-63) despite the awakening of Jarrell Eddie who had missed his equipment.
Real Madrid was comfortable with an increasingly choral game in which everyone contributed against a Burgos that was holding on by giving, to get a last approach (64-76) with just over three minutes to go that Laso nipped in the bud with a timeout to avoid scares.
