The leader wins at home against Coviran Granada

Real Madrid achieved their seventeenth victory in the league after defeating Coviran Granada at the Movistar Arena. The leader resolved the game in the second half, always staying ahead. Campazzo (11 points and a 17 PIR), who became the third foreign player with the most appearances wearing our jersey (487), Kramer (22 points and 20 PIR, in his best performance), Lyles (15 and 17 PIR), and Len (12 and 17 PIR) stood out for Scariolo's team, which now leads the second-placed team by three victories.

With the emotional tribute marking the 50th anniversary of Szczerbiak's 65 points, the last madridista game at the Movistar Arena before the Copa del Rey began. Scariolo's squad took the initiative in the first quarter, building leads of around 7 points through their defense. Procida (7) and Campazzo (6) led the local attack against a Coviran Granada that kept up with their accuracy in three-pointers (3/5) and offensive rebounds (24-19, min. 10).

Len keeps Madrid ahead
Two consecutive three-pointers, from Kramer and Feliz, at the start of the second quarter seemed to propel Madrid with a +11 lead. However, our team continued to accumulate turnovers in the attack, which the visitors capitalized on, preventing Madrid from pulling away. The 7 offensive rebounds between Alibegovic and Olumuyiwa provided second chances for Coviran Granada, which they did not waste to narrow the score. Len brought more presence in the paint (8 points, 3 rebounds, and 2 assists) and enabled Scariolo's squad to head into halftime with an advantage (40-36).

Lyles broke the game dynamic after halftime. In two minutes, he scored 10 consecutive points (including a spectacular dunk). Together with another 5 points from Campazzo, Madrid opened a 15-4 run, establishing a double-digit lead. Pérez and Bozic tried to keep Coviran Granada in the game, but the leader displayed their strongest defensive side. Scariolo's rotations (resting Tavares), with Llull directing (5 assists), Kramer, Almansa, and Len, helped extend the lead to 20 points on several occasions during the third quarter, which ended with a final partial score of 30-18 (70-52, min. 30).

Kramer reinforces local dominance
With the comfortable cushion established, Madrid managed the final stretch with relative ease, although Coviran Granada made attempts to get back into the game at various moments of the last quarter. The answer had a clear name: Kramer. The forward clipped the visitors' wings with 4 three-pointers in the final minutes, registering 22 points and a 20 PIR in his best performance as a madridista, sealing another victory for the leader with a 94-79 score.
