On June 24, 1978, Real Madrid won its third Intercontinental Basketball Cup. This edition was held in Buenos Aires (Argentina) and the Madridistas competed alongside the Brazilian Sirio, the Italian Pallacanestro Varese, the American University of Rhode Island and the Argentine Obras Sanitarias. Our team and the host won their first three games, so the champion was decided on the last day with a clash between them.
Coughran, with 26 points, Brabender (25) and Szczerbiak (24) were the most outstanding Madrid players in the victory against Obras Sanitarias, but it was a basket by Prada with two seconds left that put the score at 103-104. . This triumph gave more shine to a year 1978 in which the European Cup was also won a few months earlier. In addition, it was the third consecutive edition of the Intercontinental Cup that Real Madrid won.
