Real Madrid – Barcelona 81-74: Tavares defeated the Catalans for the championship
A triumph for Real Madrid, who beat Barcelona 81-74 thanks to the great performance of Eddie Tavares, who “chewed” his opponents with an epic performance for the 3-1 in a row and the Spanish championship.
The difference in capacity between the two teams was not large. Real and Barcelona can be said to be equals, but the Madrilenians were the ones smiling on Sunday night (19/6) as they beat the Catalans 81-74 at the Wizink Center to win the Spanish championship 3-1. In front of Pablo Lasso, looking excited from the edge of the parquet in the last few minutes…
The great protagonist Eddie Tavares, this wonder of nature, this incredible center dominating the space, was on the ground and dissolved Barcelona. In 31 minutes, the brutal Cape Verde center scored 25 points from 9/11, two points and 7/7 shots, racked up 13 rebounds (six defensive and seven offensive), gave one assist, stole a ball, clipped a shot, won seven fouls and scored 41 points on the rating system in a career appearance.
Fabian Coser and Sergio Yul were the pillars of Tavares, with the Frenchman breaking in the second and the Spaniard in the first, at the time when Nick Kalathis and Dante Exum broke away from Barcelona. Nikola Mirotic wasn’t in the situation he wanted, he was frowned upon, his team was ineffective near the basket and didn’t repeat.
