[#Steeven.™]

A great Abalde (24 + 4 + 4) led the triumph of Real Madrid against MoraBanc (69-75) in the Endesa League match postponed on matchday 11 due to positives from the Andorran team. The Galician forward shone in the first act (15) and certified his highest score in the ACB in a game that the leader won without stepping on the accelerator.

MoraBanc survived in the first half despite their lack of exterior success (3/14 triples) thanks to the offensive rebound (10 before the break) and Olomuyiwa's combativeness. In the second he recovered the tino and with five triples he came up (53-53, min 32). But Madrid closed their ring better - huge Thompkins well supported by Tavares - and with a partial of 2-13 (55-66, min 36) put on track a victory that leaves the Andorrans out of the Cup.

Madrid controlled in the first quarter thanks to the dominance of Tavares (2 + 6 + 4) and above all to the success of Abalde, a nightmare for Senglin, Palsson and Colom, the three defenders who suffered. The Galician forward, impeccable (2/2 t2, 3/3 t3 and 2/3 tl) almost scored as many points in the first act (15), as all his rival (17-23, min 10).

MoraBanc sparked something with the departure of Paulí and climbed onto the leader's beard thanks to Olomuyiwa. The Sierra Leone center cheated on Tavares and then abused Reyes to lead an 11-2 run with 8 straight points and four offensive rebounds that relaunched his team (25-25, min 15).

MoraBanc resuscitates with triples
Llovet, Hannah and Palsson followed in the wake of Olomuyiwa and Andorra, poorly in the triple (3/14) kept the pulse against a Madrid that made waters on the rebound (19-14), yielding 10 rejections under their hoop before the break . Carroll, one more day, and Thompkins, made up for that scourge (32-37, min 20).

Madrid closed the rebound better and was able to break the match at the restart again with Abalde on a roll (34-42, min 24). But the triples of Sy, Jelinek, Gielo, Hannah and Jelinek revived Andorra to get fully into the game (53-53, min 29).

At that delicate moment, Thompkins and Causeur, well supported by Taylor and Abalde, led a 2-13 partial with which they approved the victory (55-66, min 36). Then Tavares and Thompkins closed the rebound and Carroll, with a triple, certified the white victory (61-73, min 38).
