The latter had won the first encounter between the teams in Madrid (98:97) and led the quarter-final series 1-0 in a best-of-two series, but a cornered “Real” responded and will be able to advance to the semi-finals in two days, playing at home.

The Catalans, who won the first encounter in Murcia by as much as 91:68, could have closed the series and advanced to the semi-finals, but now they will have to return to the opponents’ territory and win there to avoid ending the season exceptionally early.

In the other two quarter-final clashes, there are Lithuanian accents. “Valencia” currently leads 1-0 against Bilbao “Surne” with Margiris Normantas, while Vitoria’s “Baskonia”, represented by Tadas Sedekerskis and Gytis Radzevičius, has a 1-0 advantage against Badalona’s “Joventut”.
