Real Madrid continue their incredible run in these ACB League playoffs, unbeaten with five successive wins so far. The quarterfinals saw them ease past Gran Canaria 2-0, before beating Barcelona 3-0 in the semis. In every game, one element has stood out: offense. Chus Mateo's boys are scoring at an average of 94.8 points per game, their best playoffs in an attacking sense since 1985, when they averaged 96.

Almost every one of our title playoff wins so far have been decided by offensive exhibitions. Our team has upped their scoring by over six points compared to the Regular Season (88.2). They boast an 59% success rate on two-point field goals, 42.2% from three and 89.1% on free-throws. They are also topping the slam-dunk numbers with an average of 5.8 per game. Seven players total between 7.6 and 16 points, with Musa as our leading scorer.

Leaders all over the court
We got underway with a convincing 35-point victory over Gran Canaria in the quarterfinal series. We hit 105 points in the game, 31 coming in the third quarter, led by Musa on 26. The second game in Las Palmas was the only one so far when we've failed to break the 90-point mark. We finished on 73, but did enough to book a semifinal spot. In the series against Barcelona, Chus Mateo's took it up another level in offense, averaging nearly 100 points (99.3), with 97 in the first game, 104 in the second and 95 in the third. We also had five players in double digits: Campazzo (18.3), Tavares (14.3), Musa (14), Llull (13) and Yabusele (12).
