Luka Doncic either scored or dished out assists uncontrollably in the fourth period, helping Real Madrid beat Baskonia 81 – 69 in Vitoria and improve its Spanish League record to 13 – 1.
The potential No. 1 pick in the 2018 NBA Draft notched 8 out of his 12 points in the first six minutes of the final quarter propelling his team to 69 – 62 advantage which proved to be more than enough.
When he didn’t make buckets himself, he facilitated for his teammates, dropping four out of his seven dimes in the fourth period. He also grabbed four rebounds in the 22 minutes he spent on the floor in his 100th ACB game.
Baskonia (now 8 – 6) was leading 51 – 47 seven minutes into the second half but poor execution (6/23 3-pointers) and decision-making hurt them. Toko Shengelia stood out with a double-double 15 points and 10 rebounds while Marcelinho Huertas had 15 points as well.
For Real Madrid, Fabien Causeur scored 15 and Rudy Fernandez provided valuable help with 12 points, all from beyond the arc (4/7) .
