The 20-years old Yusta scored 20 points as the “Whites” got the 84-66 win. The eventual winners played rock-solid defense in the first quarter allowing the hosts to score just 6 points as they build 20 points lead (26-6). After that, there was no way for a return for the hosts.
Real Madrid coach Pablo Laso gave Yusta the chance to show his skills and he delivered. His teammate Trey Thompkins was one rebound away from the double-double as he had 11 points and 9 boards. Luka Doncic had 7 points and 4 assist for only 13 minutes on the floor.
Maalik Wayns stepped up for Joventut with 22 points, but that wasn’t enough tonight.
This was a seventh victory in the road for Real in the Spanish league after being beaten by Barcelona in November. The Spanish powerhouse now stands on a 14-1 record as they on the top of the ACB League while Joventut sinks to a 4-11.
