In a high-scoring affair, Real Madrid rallied past Unicaja, 107-105, and improved to 20-4 in the 2024-25 Liga Endesa Regular Season on Sunday.
Fueling a late rally, Dzanan Musa tucked in 12 out of a game-high 24 points in the fourth quarter. Among five additional double-digit scoring contributions, Walter Tavares posted a 14-point, 10-rebound double-double. Facundo Campazzo and Serge Ibaka sat out the Round 24 contest.
Tyson Carter shared a game-high 24 points but narrowly missed at the buzzer with a three-point attempt bouncing several times on the rim and rolling away to force the Malaga outfit to 17-7. Dylan Osetkowski followed with 22 points. Olek Balcerowski and Nihad Djedovic were left out of the lineup.
Overcoming a sluggish start, FC Barcelona edged out Casademont Zaragoza, 97-95. Sealing the deal in a crazy game, Chimezie Metu put in 12 out of his 16 points in the fourth period. Rehabbing knee injuries, Nicolas Laprovittola, Juan Nunez, and Jan Vesely remained sidelined.
