Real Madrid got the 85-78 over Hiopos Lleida and has now a 6-2 record in the Spanish Liga Endesa, good enough at least for a spot in the top four of the standings.
It wasn’t easy as Lleida, which dropped to 3-5, thanks to 18 points by Thomas Bropleh almost shocked the Spanish powerhouse.
Xavier Rathan-Mayes with 16 points and Serge Ibaka with 15 led Real Madrid, which had a great first half and then almost committed suicide in the second.
Real Madrid was up by 26 points at halftime (51-25), but everything changed in the third period with a partial score of 34-15 for the guests.
Madrid entered the last period up by seven (66-59) and 22 seconds before the final buzzer, Lleida was trailing by three (81-78) by Bropleh.
Gabriel Deck was fouled and made two free throws (83-78) with 14 seconds left. In the next play, Michael Caicedo lost the ball and fouled Mario Hezonja who made two free throws (85-78) to seal the deal.
