Real Madrid

Real Madrid earned a victory in their first preseason clash against Power Electronics Valencia, who are always a complicated opponent.

Real Madrid missed six internationals who are currently playing in the FIBA World Championship in Turkey, but new signings Sergio Rodriguez (12 points, 3 assists), Clay Tucker (10 points, 7 rebounds, 6 steals) and D'Or Fischer (13 points) were able to make their debut.

Messina's team was led by a spectacular Mirotic (22 points, 8 rebounds, 5 assists) throughout the clash. The Whites gave a solid performance in the second quarter that allowed them to go into half-time with a 15-point cushion (29-44). The locals pulled rank in the third period and the clash became tighter; Rafa Martinez and Sundov scored 15 and 19 points, respectively. Valencia drew the game, which forced Rodriguez and Tucker to use all their potential to help Real Madrid win with a ten-point lead and take the II Vila de Mislata Tophy.
