Real Madrid-UCAM Murcia: looking to make it 2-0 in the Endesa League final
PREVIEW.Edu Bueno

Real Madrid take on UCAM Murcia today in the second game of the Endesa League final. After going 1-0 up at the WiZink Center last Saturday, Chus Mateo's side are looking for a second win, with the backing of their fans, in order to make the trip to Murcia with a chance of winning the trophy there.
It's been a flawless playoffs for the madridistas. Six wins from six games see them going into the game full of confidence, but Tavares warns: "We have to be professional and never get complacent. We're in the final and anything can happen". Our team were the better side in the first game. Two excellent quarters defensively, dominating the rebounding and only six turnovers, coupled with a very strong team performance, with five players in double figures (Musa, 16 points in 19 minutes and Campazzo 11 points and 7 assists), were decisive in winning the game.
UCAM Murcia proved that they're a highly competitive side and that they're capable of getting back into a game when the going gets tough. We will have to pay particular attention to their threat from three pointers, where they've got dangerous players like Hakanson, Sant-Roos, Caupain, and Radebaugh. Together they scored 11 of the 12 with a 48% success rate. A decisive area will once again be on the paint. Madrid didn't give Murcia's inside game a chance, shutting down the defensive rebounding and the output of their tall guys, who were only allowed 20 points, highlighting Sleva's work, who scored two points when he was averaging almost 15 in the semifinals.
Our court is a tough one for UCAM Murcia
We've won 26 consecutive home victories against UCAM Murcia in this competition. One more win, which would be the 71st of the season, would put us at 2-0 heading into Wednesday's match at the Palacio de Deportes de Murcia. We have won 11 of the 12 finals in which we got off to a winning start, and we have won the trophy in the five finals in which we have taken a 2-0 lead.
