SPAIN: “Real Madrid defended the leadership of the Endesa League with a win against Tecnyconta Zaragoza (94-68) based on a great second half, after the first ended tied at 37. The white team found offensive fluidity and shot very easily, leaving the 57 points between the third and fourth periods. The secret to this win was ball movement, the hallmark of the group coached by Pablo Laso. Among all players they totaled 29 assists. It is the fourth best record in the statistical category of Real Madrid in Liga Endesa.
Slovenian Luka Doncic this time was not noted for his scoring ability, finished with 2 points, but only attempted two shots and two free throws. Thus, Doncic went with 9 assists, clearly outperforming his peak in Liga Endesa when he had 6 in the game Real Madrid-Dominion Bilbao Basket last season. In the entire history of the League Endesa only one player under 18 had managed to give 9 assists: Ricky Rubio in a Iurbentia Bilbao Basket – DKV Joventut game of the 2007-2008 season.” More..
