Barcelona 75-88 Real Madrid Basket (June 13, 2022) - The Stitch

First notch of the final for Real Madrid. We recovered home court factor after three excellent first quarters and a bit of suffering in the fourth, because this is the highest level and the match is never closed until it is over.

The game was in the attack rebound, where we were much more successful.

Barcelona started pulling Mirotic, but we quickly took the reins (9-11) and we didn't let go. Causeur opened the first advantages from the outside https://twitter.com/vamos/status/1536425954809102336?s=21&t=id97BCcL4ia2C1wRzznhqA

But it was Hanga who played at home today, signing magnificent first minutes https://twitter.com/MovistarBasket/status/1536426989791461377

The game soon left one of the good news: Abalde was back, although he played few minutes. With him came the first elegant advantage (17-30, at the end of the first quarter).

The second piece of good news was Nuñez's nerve on this big day, he left good feelings, helping to put the first +15 (20-35).

But not everything was good ... Randolph fell. We continue in plague state  https://twitter.com/vamos/status/1536431968203816960

The feeling of the night is that we were better. Better physically, and from there also be better in rebound.

Lapro made up, with a good final action, the +20 with which we were going to reach the break (31-49 finally).

The locals came out better, wanting to reconnect, but Madrid was not going to allow it, not in this quarter. Jeff Taylor, with some good minutes for him, returned to leave the game in acceptable numbers (50-68).

The game was sentenced, all the sentenced that a match of these kind can be... nothing, of course https://twitter.com/MovistarBasket/status/1536441548736446465 < p style="text-align: justify;">For example, the 12-0 with which they welcomed us to the final quarter. Deck had to curb the over-rev with some good deed. So it was happening... they threatened to lower the game to advantages below 10, but they always ended up missing something to achieve it. https://twitter.com/MovistarBasket/status/1536449812517855233 Keep on fighting.
