Sixth consecutive victory and three-point record in the League

Real Madrid defeated Surne Bilbao Basket at the Movistar Arena in the fourth round of the League, extending their winning streak to six consecutive victories, the last four achieved in just over seven days. Our team remains unbeaten in the League after a game that was set on the right track with a brilliant first quarter, scoring 36 points and achieving a +23 lead, finishing with 119 points in yet another offensive showcase, the second-best of the season. Additionally, they broke their three-point record in an ACB game, with 20. Llull, the top scorer with 19 points and five three-pointers, became the first madridista to surpass 7,000 points, achieving this milestone in his 700th game in the competition. Eight players finished with double-digit performance index ratings, and Campazzo dished out 14 assists.

A magnificent madridista start with the best first quarter of the season. It was an offensive storm with 36 points, 6 three-pointers, and outstanding shooting percentages. Eight players contributed, including an impeccable Jones, who scored 10 points without a miss. The defense was equally effective, and by the fourth minute, they were already ahead 19-3. This lead grew to 23 points in this opening stretch, where only Darling offered some resistance for the visitors (36-13, min.10).

Madrid carried their great basketball into the second quarter
Dominating in rebounds and excelling in three-pointers with six more for a total of 12 in the first half, they achieved a 34-point lead with 57-23 in the 17th minute. Bilbao Basket improved offensively with contributions from Petrasev and Normantas, but Pedro Martínez's team managed the wide lead with long-range shooting by Abalde, Feliz, Procida, and Llull, who played his 700th League game and, with two three-pointers, became the first madridista to reach 7,000 points in the competition (62-35, min.20).

Madrid did not lose focus despite the margin. Rotations maintained the intensity to control a game of trading baskets in the third quarter. This time, the madridista offense scored in transition, in the paint (Feliz, Jantunen and Jones) and from the free-throw line (Pradilla, Procida), countering the points of a much looser Surne Bilbao Basket (89-57, min.30).

Another offensive showcase with a record
Pedro Martínez's team thrilled the Movistar Arena with another game scoring over 110 points, their fourth of the season, all achieved within just two weeks (Obradoiro 114, Manresa 120, and Asvel 111). Campazzo tallied 14 assists, while Llull capped his great performance with 19 points, leading five other players in double-digit scoring (Feliz 14, Maledon and Jones 13, Jantunen 12, and Sarr 11). The captain secured the team's 20th three-pointer with 29 seconds remaining, setting the madridista record for an ACB game. In the end, our team finished just one point shy of their best scoring performance of the season (119-84, min.40).
