Real Madrid Basketball dominates over Força Lleida

Real Madrid continued their relentless pace this weekend during the 22nd round of Liga Endesa. The Madrilenes secured a comfortable home victory against Força Lleida with a final score of 95-78, powered by a massive second quarter performance (31-9) and led by Théo Maledon‘s exceptional display. This marks the fifth consecutive victory across all competitions for Sergio Scariolo’s men.

With this performance, Maledon matched his season-high point total in Liga Endesa, which he had previously established on November 22nd against Granada. The guard’s aggressive approach and efficient execution highlighted his growing importance in Real Madrid‘s rotation.

Thanks to this latest victory, Real Madrid (20 wins for only 2 losses) strengthens their first place position in the Liga Endesa standings. The Madrilenes maintain a comfortable lead over their closest pursuers, Valencia (16 wins – 6 losses), who are trying to keep pace with the relentless rhythm imposed by Facundo Campazzo‘s teammates.

Lleida, meanwhile, remains stuck in the lower part of the table in 13th place with a record of 8 wins and 14 defeats. The gap between the championship contenders and the struggling teams continues to widen as the season progresses.

With the Spanish championship temporarily set aside, Real Madrid will now turn their attention to their continental commitments. The 32nd round of EuroLeague is approaching, with a scheduled away game on March 20th against Zalgiris Kaunas on the horizon.
