Real Madrid needed overtime to defeat archrival FC Barcelona 91-86 in Round 21, moving up to a 14-7 record in the standings. Real's defense was all over the place and that played a key role in Los Blancos' win.
Real finished the game with 13 steals, a new season-high. It had previously collected 10 steals twice earlier this season, against ALBA Berlin and LDLC ASVEL Villeurbanne. As many as 10 different Real players collected at least 1 steal during the game, which speaks volumes about the home team's defensive activity. Dzanan Musa, Walter Tavares and Rudy Fernandez each collected 2 against Barca.
On the other hand, Barca finished the game with 25 turnovers, matching the most of any team this season. Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul also had 25 turnovers in a 94-67 road loss against Olympiacos Piraeus in Round 13. It is also Barca's club record for most turnovers in a EuroLeague game. It previously had 24 turnovers twice: against Zalgiris Kaunas on December 4, 2020, and against CSKA Moscow on December 16, 2016.
