Real life is complicated Madrid in Euroleague

The Real Madrid had to win at Maccabi Tel Aviv in order to achieve Vistalegre the quarterfinals of the Euroleague. But he lost the game and we have to gamble in Greece.

Real Madrid has been an uphill struggle as being present in the quarterfinals of the Euroleague basketball. And that began to dominate the match, went to the break ahead in the scoring and then managed to increase their lead to 12 points.

However, before the end of the third quarter, Maccabi came around and put one ahead. The last quarter was a back and forth on the scoreboard. No set was leaving. Charles Smith, who was not playing his best game, put up a triple and euphoria, but they were always answered by Morris did a great match.

Then another triple Axel Hervelle plugged a few seconds to end the match and the pressure fell to Maccabi. He had a possession to score a triple, thereby forcing overtime. But Joan Plaza erred on the cautious and did not seek failure. If Real Madrid were forced fouls, Maccabi could hardly have scored more than two points per game (if it controlled the rebound) and Real Madrid played it all free throws to score the faults that he would do.

But Joan Plaza Halperin chose to defend and pulled a sleeve triple that tied the game in the absence of 5 seconds. There would be extended.

Maccabi started the extension very motivated and within seconds was placed 4 above. Real Madrid annulled the difference, but again Maccabi went ahead. Charles Smith, denied last night, missed a clear lack of backlash to 25 seconds. In this situation it may fail and Smith failed. In the final seconds, and three points behind Real Madrid played a triple impossible and lost the match. In the end: 100-103.

Now it must try to win on the court at Olympiacos, very difficult thing. If not at home.
