Real Madrid came into this EuroLeague quarterfinal series as heavy favorites, and they looked every bit of that in Games 1 and 2 at the Movistar Arena. Then Game 3 happened. Hapoel Tel Aviv went to Botevgrad, played suffocating defense, controlled the paint, and walked out with a 76-69 win to cut the series deficit to 2-1.

ハポエル・テルアビブ概要

Hapoel Tel Aviv head coach Dimitris Itoudis called his shot after Game 2, saying his team would return to Spain for a decisive Game 5. Now they are one win away from making that happen. The key to Game 3 was defense. Hapoel Tel Aviv locked down Real Madrid’s ball movement and made Los Blancos grind for every single basket.

They also dominated the defensive glass, which became even easier without Walter Tavares in the lineup for Real Madrid. Perhaps most encouraging is that Hapoel Tel Aviv won despite shooting just 4 of 18 from three-point range. If that number improves even slightly in Game 4, this team becomes significantly harder to beat.

Elijah Bryant led all scorers with 19 points and nine rebounds, reminding everyone why he earned a spot on the All-EuroLeague First Team this season. Chris Jones also dropped 19 points, and Vasilije Micic chipped in 13, including five critical points during a 16-0 run in the third quarter that blew the game open.

レアル・マドリード概要

Real Madrid’s home and road split this season is one of the most extreme in EuroLeague history. They went 20-1 at the Movistar Arena, with only Panathinaikos beating them there all season. On the road, they are a completely different team, winning just 6 of 20 games away from Madrid.

Game 3 in Botevgrad fit the exact same pattern. Real Madrid had no offensive rhythm at any point, lost the battle in the paint, and could not get anything going beyond a few early three-pointers. Mario Hezonja, one of their top scoring threats, shot 3 of 12 from the field and made poor decisions all night.

Trey Lyles led the team with 14 points and Gabriel Deck added 11, but that was not enough to avoid defeat. Theo Maledon and Sergio Llull both failed to provide energy off the bench, and Facundo Campazzo’s 10 points came too late to matter.

Best Bet Arguments for Real Madrid

レアル・マドリード still leads this series 2-1 and needs just one more win to advance. Hapoel Tel Aviv shot a miserable 22 percent from three-point range in Game 3 and still won, which means their shooting will likely correct itself, but so will Real Madrid’s. Sergio Scariolo is too experienced a coach to let his team repeat the same defensive and offensive mistakes two games in a row.

Hezonja shot 3 of 12 in Game 3, but he also put up one of the best performances of his career just days earlier against Murcia. A bounce-back game from him changes everything for Los Blancos. Lyles has been consistent all season and figures to be more aggressive looking for his shot on Thursday.

Hapoel Tel Aviv is still without Tyler Ennis, Collin Malcolm, Yam Madar and Tomer Ginat, and Blakeney’s fitness remains uncertain after his late Game 3 injury. Real Madrid have the deeper roster, the series lead, and the motivation to close things out. Back Los Blancos to bounce back and go to the Final Four.
