Real Madrid defeated Valencia Basket at the WiZink Center for their nineteenth Euroleague victory, keeping them in first place with seven games remaining in the Regular season (they have one win and one game less than Olympiacos).
A great Deck (18 points and 26 index points) and a great Poirier (11 and 20) were crucial to the victory for Chus Mateo's team in a game that they controlled in the first half but had to endure intense pressure from their opponents in the third and final quarter.
