Real Madrid culminated another great year this Tuesday with the Endesa League title, which it won by beating Kirolbet Baskonia in the fourth match 85-96, weeks after lifting the Euroleague title.
Rudy Fernández, who led his team and was named best player of the final playoff, was one of the keys to a match in which the whites remained ahead for three quarters of the match.
The Blaugranas tried to close the gap from the triple, but Pablo Laso's squad, which closed the tie with a 3-1 aggregate score, was more solid in the key minutes of the match.
The two teams began with a demanding Binance App Users Data defense on their rival that caused several errors in both squads and where the Cape Verdean Walter Tavares began to establish his dominance in an area that the Blaugranas did not approach.
While Jaycee Carroll added for the whites while receiving punishment from the Latvian Janis Timma under the board, Pedro Martínez opted to move the bench and play with Johannes Voigtmann in the five position to try to get the Madrid "wall" out of the zone , although Pablo Laso, as he did in the third duel, decided to place Tavares with Tornike Shengelia.
Thus, the exchange of baskets ended up favoring Baskonia after two consecutive triples by Matt Janning that put the locals with a 21-14 lead in the 8th minute of a duel in which they played with speed and a lot of rhythm.
Real Madrid reacted to the Basques' first clear advantage and managed to reduce the difference to 21-18 after the first ten minutes.
The Madrid team increased the score at the beginning of the second act and with a 2-15 they managed to open a gap of six points, 23-29, and although Baskonia managed to stay close, they did not find the antidote to stop Rudy Fernández's good moment , author of 17 points in this period.
Two triples from the Uruguayan Jayson Granger, who worked very well in defense against the Slovenian Luka Doncic, and from Matt Janning responded to the success of the Mallorcan forward who kept the white team ahead throughout the second round, which went to the locker room with a 38-42 in favor.
The level of aggressiveness increased after passing through the locker room and after several clashes, Felipe Reyes and Walter Tavares had to sit on the bench with three fouls each, although Real Madrid had a better feeling and remained ahead, 45-52 (min . 24).
The goal lost its brilliance, but Madrid punished the errors of the Baskonistas who were stubborn with the outside shot and did not have the necessary freshness to circulate the ball, which led Pablo Laso's team to obtain an advantage of 8 points, 57- 65, with ten minutes left to lift the title.
