Match Overview
The game began with both teams exchanging blows, and Valencia held a slim lead after the first quarter behind energetic play from their guards. However, Real Madrid's depth and tactical discipline took over in the second half. A decisive third-quarter run, fueled by relentless pressure and transition buckets, turned a three-point halftime deficit into a comfortable 12-point lead entering the final period.

- Star power: Madrid's veteran leader took over down the stretch, scoring 10 points in the final five minutes to quash any Valencia comeback hopes.
Tactical Story
Valencia struggled to contain Real Madrid's pick-and-roll combinations, which repeatedly freed up shooters on the perimeter and rolled men toward the rim. Madrid converted 58% of their two-point attempts and dominated the rebounding battle (42–31), limiting Valencia to one-and-done possessions on offense.
Standout Performers
Real Madrid's top scorer finished with 27 points, 7 rebounds, and 5 assists, shooting 10-of-18 from the field. Valencia's best player countered with 23 points and 8 assists, but the lack of consistent secondary scoring proved costly against Madrid's balanced attack.
