Α game-winning basket by Trey Thompkins with two seconds remaining, helped Real Madrid escape the home court of a tough UCAM Murcia with a 63 – 61 victory and improve its Spanish League record to 30 – 3.
Murcia lost a big opportunity to get closer to sealing a playoff spot. They are ninth with 16 – 6.
The game was far from pretty since both teams had difficulties connecting to the basket. Only Walter Tavares (12 points, along with six rebounds) and Jaycee Carroll (11 points) from Real and Vitor Benite (20 points and six boards) from Murcia scored in double figures.
Few days after registering the first triple-double of his professional career, potential No 1. pick in the NBA Draft Luka Doncic struggled with his shooting and had four points (1/8 f.g.) plus four assists in 23 minutes.
Real Madrid will now turn its attention to the upcoming EuroLeague Final Four (18-20 May).
