Real Madrid did not find much trouble to beat Zalgiris Kaunas 96-69 at Wizink Center in the Spanish capital in Round 25, grabbing its 17th victory of the season. Being effective in the paint was the biggest key to this game.
Real dominated the boards and was able to find easy baskets in the paint. Real outrebounded Zalgiris by 35-29 and finished the game with 30 two-point shots made. It was Los Blancos' second-best mark of the season: Real scored 31 two-point shots in a 92-73 home win against LDLC ASVEL Villeurbanne in Round 15. Gabriel Deck, Walter Tavares and Vincent Poirier combined for 16-of-19 two-point shooting (84.2%).
Los Blancos only needed 41 two-point shots to get 30 baskets inside the arc. That shooting percentage, 73.2%, was a new club season-high: it previously made 72.4% of its two-pointers in a 71-85 Round 11 road victory against Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul. It was also Real's fourth-best mark in EuroLeague history. Its best two-point shooting night (80% 2FG) came against Crvena Zvezda Belgrade on March 10, 2017. Real beat Zvezda 98-68 in that game.
