Teams Preview

Real Madrid Baloncesto

Real Madrid enter Game 2 with momentum after defeating Hapoel Tel Aviv 86-82 in game 1. Facundo Campazzo set the tone with 21 points and 6 three pointers, while Trey Lyles added 13 points, 6 rebounds and Mario Hezonja added 11 points.

At home, Real Madrid have been one of Europe’s toughest teams to beat, winning 18 of their 19 EuroLeague home games this season. Their size, experience and playoff composure remain major advantages.

Offensively, Madrid shot 50% from the two point range, 28.6% from the perimeter and an impressive 90% from the free throw line, supported by their efficient ball movement (21 assists). Defensively, they controlled the boards 40-35, limiting second chance opportunities, recorded 10 steals and forced Hapoel to commit 14 crucial turnovers.

If Madrid can replicate their first half intensity and get another strong showing from their key players, they’ll be in prime position to seize a commanding 2-0 series lead before the series shifts to Bulgaria.

Overall, the team averages 87.9 points per game, while dishing out 19.1 assists. Defensively, they record 37.5 rebounds, 6.3 steals and 3.9 blocks per game. 

Hapoel IBI Tel Aviv

Hapoel Tel Aviv head into Game 2 with belief after showing real resilience in the series opener. Despite falling 86-82 in Madrid, Hapoel erased much of a 15-point halftime deficit and outscored Real Madrid 27-16 in the fourth quarter, nearly stealing home-court advantage.

Dan Oturu was dominant inside with 20 points and 17 rebounds, while Antonio Blakeney led the scoring with 25 points. Vasilije Micic contributed 15 points, 7 rebounds and Chris Jones added 14 points and 8 assists, providing consistent support.

Offensively, Hapoel shot efficiently, hitting 54.3% from the two point range and 42.3% from the three point line. However, their ball movement was inefficient (13 assists) compared to Madrid’s 21. Defensively, they got outrebounded 40-35, giving away second chance opportunities and committed 14 key turnovers, proving costly down the stretch.

The key for Game 2 will be a stronger start and better control of the defensive glass after Madrid capitalized on second chance opportunities in Game 1. If Hapoel can match Real’s physicality earlier and maintain their fourth quarter intensity, they have every chance to level the series before returning home.

Overall, the team averages 88.1 points per game, while dishing out 17.6 assists. Defensively, they record 32.9 rebounds, 6 steals and 2.7 blocks per game.
