Real Madrid – Barcelona 81-66: “The Queen” just one step away from the title

With exuberant energy in defense and pluralism in attack, Real Madrid dominated Game 3 of the Endesa Liga finals against Barcelona to claim a relative win (81-66) at the WiZink Center.

The hosts took an early lead, maintaining a small advantage in their favor and stepping on the gas in the third quarter as they built the +10 that wasn’t contested again until the final. Both because Real Madrid’s defense was adequate and because Barcelona’s percentages in the periphery were not good (7/19 – 36%). Add to that the Blaugrana’s 19 errors to see how much easier than expected it was for the Queen to get the job done, which is now a win away from the Liga Endesa trophy.
