65-84: Seventh straight league win

Real Madrid remains in untouchable form in the league, where the Whites are top and unbeaten after Matchweek 8. The madridistas prevailed on Coosur Betis's floor in a match that featured a tight opening half, before the team set itself up for victory in a second half in which they were far superior as they tore up a 32-53 run. The quartet made up for Campazzo (nine points, nine assists and a PIR of 19), Llull (14 points, with four treys in the last stanza) Carroll (14) and Tavares (13, 11 rebounds and a PIR of 20) were instrumental as the Whites racked up a seventh consecutive win, which means that the team have now achieved the team's third-best start to a season in the ACB era.

The contest got off to a high-tempo start in the scoring stakes, before things cooled off as the minutes ticked by. Within the first three minutes, Real Madrid had posted 12 points, eight of which were scored by Carroll (7-12, min. 3) and was playing with great fluency and looked like they were going to race away. However, they failed to continue their strong start in offense. Easy shots were now not going in and several rushed shots on three-pointers saw Coosur Betis, paced by Feldeine and Kay, go toe-to-toe in this first stanza (17-19, min. 10).

Parity
The script of a low-scoring game intensified in the second quarter as both teams became more comfortable in defense, with Tavares (four points and eight rebounds) and Ndoye (five and seven) starring for their respective sides. The lack of shooting accuracy meant that there were no scoring runs to break the parity on the scoreboard during a second 10 minutes that the hosts won14-12 (31-31, min. 20).
