After 26 minutes really competed, Real Madrid seemed to break once for all with a superb performance from Sergio Rodriguez. Madrid had an eleven points advantage with nine minutes to go. But Herbalife Gran Canaria did not give up and they came back with Albert Oliver’s points from downtown.

Herbalife Gran Canaria had his chances until the very end, but Real Madrid was better in the final minutes and grabbed the win.
