Real Madrid defeated Estudiantes 109 – 92 in a game for Round 31 of the Spanish ACB League. The “Blancos” improved their record to 25 – 6 while their opponents dropped to 10 – 21.
The offense of Real Madrid ran at full swing and was simply too much for Estudiantes. Real coach Pablo Laso saw five of his players scoring in double digits: Jeff Taylor (15 points), Facu Campazzo (14 points, four assists) and Gustavo Ayon (14 points, five rebounds), Jaycee Carroll (12 points) and Sergio Llull (12 points, five assists).
Alessandro Gentile returned to action for Estudiantes with a game-high 18 points while Nick Caner-Medley added a double-double of 18 points and 13 rebounds. But neither them nor their teammates could stop their hosts’ offense. Real imposed its rhythm early by leading 30 – 15 in the first period and never looked back afterward.
