Today marks the 33rd anniversary of Real Madrid's 26th Basketball League. On May 23, 1993, our team secured the title by winning the fifth and final game of the series against Joventut. The madridistas triumphed in the first two games of the series at home, but the Catalan team took the next two games in Badalona. In the decisive 78-69 victory, standout performances came from Sabonis, who scored 22 points and grabbed 10 rebounds. The Lithuanian was named MVP of the final.
Real Madrid was also the best team in the Regular Season with a record of 25 wins and 6 losses. During the playoffs, they faced Valvi Girona (round of 16), Elosúa León (quarterfinals), and Estudiantes (semifinals). With the victory in the final against Joventut, the team managed by Clifford Luyk achieved a double that season by also winning the Copa del Rey against the verdinegros.
