Chus Mateo's team ran into strong resistance from Malaga at Carpena, with a brilliant Darío Brizuela (17 points in 19 minutes), but Madrid repeated their victory with the same players as in their Euroleague debut this week.

As against Panathinaikos, the contribution of Musa (15 points) and Tavares (14 and 7 rebounds) was the main inspiration for the visitors in a Carpena that pushed just like his team on the court. In addition, as in Athens, Sergio Llull was once again decisive in a final basket that put an end to Malaga's resistance.

The 3-0 was also added by Lenovo Tenerife with a serious final stretch against Cazoo Baskonia (79-85).

The locals showed no mercy in the return of Álex Mumbrú, 'taronja' coach, to Miribilla, and continued their great three-for-three start with Hakanson (20 PIR) and Sulejmanovic as leaders.

For its part, Barça dispelled some doubts about its irregular start to the season with its convincing victory against 'Fuenla'. The atmosphere at the Fernando Martín was somewhat cold with a first quarter of 8-22 for the Catalans. With the rent, Sarunas Jasikevicius's team found the game they were looking for in a renewed squad and, above all, recovered the defense that the Lithuanian requires.

Jokubaitis and Laprovittola led the way at the start and Vesely, Higgins and Satoransky also added outstanding performances in a choral match for a Barça team that needed to achieve a convincing victory.
