Rudy Fernandez (18 p.), Sergio Llull (14 p., 8 r.) and Andres Nocioni with 11 points on 100% efficiency couldn’t be denied. It wasn’t easy but in the last quarter Real Madrid got the 81-71 win over feisty Valencia.
Kresimir Loncar scored 15 points for the guests, but he was also injured on his left knee with 25 seconds to go (video), had to leave the game and no one knows yet when he will be ready for action again. It’s an important blow for Valencia which shot just 4/22 threes in the game. The Euroleague champions were focused at the end of the game and got what they wanted.
