Real based its victory on several factors. One of them, rebounding, was also a trend in the previous two games in Madrid. This time, Los Blancos outrebounded Maccabi 38-27, but they started by grabbing 10 boards in the first quarter against its opponent’s 3. Ball circulation was another asset for the winners, as they got 18 assists in the first half and 25 overall. Maccabi got just 5 in the first half and 11 overall.
