After two consecutive defeats in Europe, against Valencia and Panathinaikos, Real Madrid raised their heads at home and defeated Zalgiris, one of the best teams in the Euroleague, in a spectacular power vs. power clash.
The Whites showed the resources to obtain a victory that allows them to match victories and defeats along the way (6-6). Campazzo added 20 points to a great game direction, Maledon emerged up to 25, Lyles up to 21, and Tavares contributed 12 plus 11 rebounds and three blocks, a defensive juggernaut against a fast and united Kaunas team.
Palace greets Sylvain Francisco with an ovation (33 and 11 assists), who was eliminated for fouls in a memorable last quarter due to the offensive gap of both teams: 38-37. It was the end of the party for a match worthy of the elite.
