After defeating Zaragoza and Partizan, it seemed that Real Madrid was back on the winning track, but Chus Mateo’s side slipped again in the domestic championship.
In Round 3 of the ACB League, the defending champions suffered an 83-79 road defeat to Bilbao Basket, despite Gabriel Deck scoring 23 points with six rebounds.
Kristian Kullamae led the winning side with 18 points, Thijs De Ridder and Marvin Jones scored 11 points each, while Zoran Dragic added 10 points.
Deck had good support from Mario Hezonja, who scored 18 points, and Facundo Campazzo, who added 16 points and eight assists, but it wasn’t enough for Real Madrid.
