He Real Madrid reached in him New gorge (where by the way this year they have fallen Unicaja, Valencia and Barça), His triumph number 20 consecutively in the Endesa League And it approaches a little more to the absolute record that the own Madrid with 28 since 2013-14. But he had to sweat blood to get it.
He 65-67 I perfectly summarize the party. The two teams were aciagos in the shot to distant and close basket. They failed triples (9/36 Baxi Manresa6/27 Real Madrid) were failed free throws (18/29 the premises, 17/27 the visitors) and they failed two baskets very close to the hoop, even a mate by Hezonja. There were intense defenses, yes, but the game is explained more from the bad day of the shooters of both teams.

It was in the end when the Manresa He grabbed the game to place 65-65 with a triple of Hunt 22 seconds for the end. Then came the protagonist of these moments, Sergio Llullwho did what he knows best to do, decide matches. First asked for a blockade Tavares And then he resigned from him, to play a one against one Dani Pérez to which he surpassed with a shot to table, in which he could also be missing, to put the 65-67 and leave the clock in 1.7 for the end.
He Baxi Manresa He still had a shot to win the game when Saint-Superyto one leg, he threw a triple that crashed into the hoop and the game vanished on the way to Madrid. He Manresawhich was below the entire game, except in 65-65, he was able to win at the end. But Llullas he has done a lifetime, he had saved the triumph of Madrid And with it the streak without losing in Endesa League in everything we have of 2025.

Madrid control
With the Madrid Without playing anything, he was already a mathematical leader before this game, and the Manresa recklessly Victorias, after three consecutive losses (now four) to try to grab the eighth square of Playoffs (They are novel), the whites seemed to start more centered and the product of them was the advantage acquired soon that it would be the security barrier in which the game would move.
The first triple of Madridof Hezonjaalready the seventh, put the 8-19 to 40 seconds for the end of the first quarter, which ended 10-21. That would be the difference I would send on the scoreboard during the rest of the game … until the end, of course.

The second quarter ended with 26-39 and the two teams in changing rooms ruminating their bad numbers in the shot.
They did not improve too much after the break. He Bax It ended with 10/29 in two (34%) shots, 9/36 in triples (25%) and 11 free throws that went to limbo. He Madrid He made 16/34 in T2 (47%), 6/27 in T3 (22%) and 10 failed free throws. White only scored two triples in the second half and none of them in the last quarter.

But the Manresain it New gorgeIt is something else. Do not kill him easily. So they returned to the game, of what he complained Mateo In a dead time, they grabbed him and cause the 22 -second tie that crazy to Manresan followers. Then came the 'master class' of Llull and the desperate shot of Saint-Supery. He Manresa You will have to continue paddling.
