Real Madrid used some excellent three-point shooting and its advantages in transition to defeat Virtus Segafredo Bologna 79-96 in Italy on Friday night.
Los Blancos made 15-of-30 three-pointers for 50.0% in Bologna, which was a marked improvement on the 35.3% that the team was shooting coming into the game. In fact, that 35.3% ranked Real 11th in the league from beyond the arc.
Mario Hezonja went 8-for-11 from three against Virtus, Guerschon Yabusele hit 4-of-7 triples and Rudy Fernandez knocked down 2-of-4 shots from long range as part of a comfortable 17-point win.
Real also did a good job of using its defense to create more offense. Both Real and Virtus committed 10 turnovers each, but Real outscored the hosts 15-5 in points off turnovers.
