It was a very easy night for Real Madrid at Istanbul. The “Queen” of european basketball beat Galatasaray 107-71 and stayed on the top of Group E, having a two win advantage from Barcelona and Maccabi which are in the second position of the group.
Galatarasay fought only in the first quarter (20-24 for Real). Real’ start at the second quarter was incredible and with 10-0 run, took the control of the game as the margin reached 14 points (20-34, 23’). Sinan Guler’s injury made things worst for the hosts.
Patrick Young and Kerem Gonlum kept fighting, but Real was unstoppable on offense and they led even by 29 points (43-72, 25’). The winners had 7 players with double figures and Rudy Fernandez as the top scorer with 17 points. Patrick Young (19p.) was the best from Galatasaray.
