Campazzo ties record as Real sees off ALBA in thriller

Real Madrid overcame ALBA Berlin 97-103 in one of the games of the season at Mercedes-Benz Arena. A record-breaking first quarter allowed Real to race 26 points in front, but 13-0 and 11-1 runs from ALBA in the second helped the host go ahead 60-50 at the break. Real responded with a 0-14 run in the third and managed to stay in front the rest of the way. Facundo Campazzo tied the competition’s single-game record with 19 assists before fouling out near the end. Jaycee Carroll and Anthony Randolph both scored 27 points for Real, each downing 5-of-8 three-pointers. Jeffery Taylor added 13 points in victory. Rokas Giedraitis led ALBA with 17 points, with Marcus Eriksson scoring 12 and Martin Hermannsson and Johannes Thiemann both getting 10. Real stayed in second place at 18-6, with ALBA dropped to 8-16.

Carroll and Peyton Siva were both on target twice from long distance in the early going, before Randolph took over with 7 straight points for a 6-13 lead. Taylor scored from close-range and deep to extend the lead to double digits before Carroll netted another triple for a 10-23 edge. Randolph sank a pair of corner triples and a mid-range jumper, all from Campazzo assists, to make it 14-34. Giedraitis brought some relief for ALBA with a pair of baskets, but Campazzo added a triple and the unstoppable Randolph scored again to make it 25-41 at the end of the first. ALBA raced back early in the second with deep strikes from Thiemann and Hermannsson, who then scored again in penetration before free throws cut the gap to 40-43. Usman Garuba snapped the 13-0 run with a pair of close-range scores, but Luke Sikma and Landry Nnoko netted at the rim to give ALBA its first lead, 48-47. Eriksson struck from deep before Nnoko and Tyler Cavanaugh battled to score inside, fixing the halftime score at 60-50 after an 11-1 run.

Randolph’s triple early in the third was canceled out by two from Giedraitis, but three buckets from Carroll and triples from Taylor and Randolph got Real level, 68-68. Carroll sent Real ahead from deep to complete a 0-14 run and soon netted another mid-range shot before Walter Tavares scored inside for a 71-79 lead after three quarters. Carroll netted another triple and Mickey dunked to make it a 10-point game. Gabriel Deck and Sergio Llull both scored from deep to protect that advantage. Consecutive threes from Jonas Mattiseck gave ALBA hope before Campazzo tied the single-game assists record by finding Deck for an 84-96 lead. Triples from Thiemann and Makai Mason made it 93-99 with 2 minutes left. Campazzo fouled out, but Randolph nailed a mid-range jumper and Real’s defense did the rest.

Campazzo ties assists mark

Facundo Campazzo joined Stefan Jovic at the top of the all-time single-game assists chart by dishing 19 assists, missing out on the chance to break the record as he fouled out with 2:02 remaining. Campazzo dished 11 assists in the opening quarter, the most recorded by an individual player in a quarter since those records started being taken in 2007-08. The Argentine also passed the career milestone of 500 assists in the competition.

Randolph stars in record start

Real made a stunning start to the game, racing to 41 points after 10 minutes – the club’s record in a quarter – by making 15 of its first 17 field goals in a near-flawless exhibition of offensive basketball. Anthony Randolph was the main man, scoring 19 points by converting all 7 of his field-goal attempts. But Real then went of 3-of-16 from the field in the second quarter as ALBA roared back.

ALBA’s record-breaking second quarter

ALBA responded to the first quarter blitz from Real by launching its own record-breaking quarter with a 35-9 partial in the second. That was the German team’s highest points tally ever scored in a single quarter and the 26-point margin was the worst ever suffered by Real in a EuroLeague quarter.

Next round

Real returns to the road after the bye week to visit Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul on Thursday, February 20. ALBA is also on its travels on the same night, visiting to Zenit St Petersburg.

"We began the game badly without energy in defense. But it’s very difficult to react and we did. After that I am happy with the game, because for us competing at this level is this very difficult: traveling, playing, traveling, playing teams like Real Madrid. It’s almost impossible to do it better. We must realise it’s very difficult and we are proud of our team because we are trying to compete in every game."
LASO, PABLO
Real Madrid

"Give credit to ALBA. They are a team that always fights back. They play with energy, have many threats and shot a great percentage in threes today. So it was difficult, but we stayed together and changed things at halftime that really helped us."

"I’m happy for the victory, but not very happy with the performance. We cannot play three quarters. We did a great job in the first quarter, a great job in the second half, but our second quarter was unacceptable. No way. I’m not talking about basketball. I’m talking about pride, about being on the game, being focused. Our second quarter was terrible. Of course, I’m happy for the victory and we got a great reaction in the second half, but as a coach you have two options: think they played great in the second quarter, which they did, or think they we played bad. And right now, I’m focused on trying to get my team better and we didn’t play 40 minutes today. With that second quarter, it’s not even basketball. We were not rebounding, we were getting beat one on one, we were getting outrun, having turnovers. You can play bad or good, but you have to play with attitude and pride, to be ready to contest one on one situations and we didn’t have that in the second quarter. I think that’s sad, because of course I’m part of the team and I think it’s my fault. In the second half, we understood better what we had to do to win the game."

"We played a weird game. The first quarter was great, in the second we played unfocused, lost a lot of balls and couldn’t make many shots. In the second half, we changed our mentality and played with intensity and focus. Stats are for you guys, for me it’s secondary. I want to play and help my team. This is a great victory for us, that’s the most important. We worked so hard to win this and it means a lot."
RANDOLPH, ANTHONY
Real Madrid
"We came out in the second half and did a better job of controlling offensive rebounds, playing like we cared about the game. We have to do a better job of maintaining leads and staying together if we want to attain the goals we’ve set for ourselves. We’re a much better team than that. As long as we win and show we’ve got heart and stick together, that’s all that matters. In the EuroLeague each game is difficult and different, so we’ve got to stick together and work hard."
