Real Madrid secured its 13th consecutive EuroLeague Playoff appearance with a dominant 93–71 win over Bayern Munich. After a rare slip-up against Paris in the Play-In phase, the Spanish powerhouse bounced back in style, leaving no room for doubt in front of their home crowd.
From the opening minutes, Madrid imposed its tempo, closing the first quarter with a commanding 33–17 lead. Their remarkable three-point accuracy (7-of-9 in Q1) set the tone for the rest of the game.
Mario Hezonja led the scoring with 19 points and 7 rebounds, supported by Dzanan Musa (16 points), Alberto Abalde (13), Facundo Campazzo (12 points, 5 assists), and Walter Tavares (10 points).
On the other side, Bayern was weakened by the absence of their top scorer Carsen Edwards, who missed the game due to back issues. Shabazz Napier scored 19 points, but the German team couldn’t keep pace with Madrid’s intensity and precision.
Next up, Real Madrid faces Olympiacos in a highly anticipated quarterfinal series. The first two games will be played in Piraeus, with the series continuing in Madrid.
