Finally, a peaceful trip for Madrid through Europe: Andrés Feliz and Maledon dance in Milan

It took four nights, four trips around Europe (yes, Dubai is the Euroleague), for Real Madrid to make their home debut. An evil that is not new, last year it was hell on the road (6-13 balance with Scariolo). And it happened in Milan, a fiefdom that was also somewhat cursed, four years without winning there.

Finally the success, although the hundred points are still elusive (they did surpass it last Sunday at the Palace against Manresa, in ACB). As if he had finally shaken off the spider web that wrapped him, that entangled him in a basketball that was not his even in this dawn of a project. It was an almost round night, especially what happened before and after the break. Armani threatened - which has started in an identical way, three away defeats and one victory at home - but it did not give them the chance to threaten the victory of Pedro Martínez's team.

The 8 of 12 in triples at halftime seemed unsustainable for Madrid, but the path was marked. Defensive intensity, rebound, for a 1-14 final quarter before the passage through the locker room that gave the first advantage. Tavares was the protagonist, of course. Also in the paint Damian Jones (hit his first three triples), a substitute who offers many guarantees. It was Procida, performance award, as a starter (Deck's injury opens a great door for him). And Campazzo. And Happy.

That frenzy continued after halftime. A 2-10 start, 21 lead and whistles at the Mediolanum in Milan, where 11 years ago the Whites lost a Euroleague final against Maccabi. The total score was 3-24. Peppe Poeta's timeout stopped the gale somewhat. Leandro Bolmaro appeared and slept through the night, to the point that, at the beginning of the final act, the hosts came close (72-84), but Andrés Feliz was there to dominate.

A placid victory, a night of plenty. On Thursday, at the Palace, Madrid receives ASVEL with the opportunity to fix the 0-3 with which they started.
