Today marks the 52nd anniversary of Real Madrid basketball team's 12th league title. On 15 March 1970, our team was crowned champions in the penultimate league match-up of the season after downing Bibao-based Kas in a 63-73 win. The madridistas ended the season with 19 wins from 22 games and a total of 38 points, pipping Picadero to the title by a single point.
This trophy triumph represented a third straight league success for Pedro Ferrándiz's men. Luyk and Emiliano were the team's leading scorers in that league campaign, which saw the Whites clinch the double after also landing the Copa del Rey.
