In a high-stakes encounter, Real Madrid showcased resilience and tenacity to clinch their sixth consecutive victory in the ACB league, leading into the Copa del Rey next week. The match, held at the Carpena, saw them face the same opponent they will meet in the quarterfinals, making the win both significant and strategically beneficial. Under the coaching of Sergio Scariolo, the team overcame a shaky start and demonstrated their depth and capability, especially in critical moments of the game.

Mario Hezonja emerged as the standout performer, notably scoring seven crucial points in the final minute, and his impact was felt across the court. The team's dynamic changed drastically after a stern halftime discussion, which catalyzed their resurgence. This victory was marked by a sense of renewed hope and confidence for Real Madrid, who have been without key players like Campazzo and Deck during this period.

As they prepare for the upcoming Copa del Rey, this victory not only boosts their morale but also sets a positive tone for future matches. The team's performance indicates their potential to adapt and overcome challenges, essential characteristics for any championship team. The road to Valencia is lined with optimism, and as they carry both sporting victories and strategic insights, Real Madrid may very well emerge as formidable contenders in the cup.
