Barça Regal 111 – 108 Real Madrid
After two overtimes Barça Regal was able to overcome their rival Real Madrid. Two OT’s, 50 minutes of tension and great play by both teams! Key end of the game play by big man Lorbek to force the second overtime and inside play of Tomic to close the deal. Pete Mickeal played exceptional during the entire game. After missing two of three free throws before the end of regulation, Mickeal was able to redeem himself by making important baskets in the final 10minutes.
With the marks of top Spanish National teams and figures such as Rafael Nadal who just won the Wimbledon after a 44 year drought for Spanish Players and the Spanish Soccer team who also won the Euro2008 after not winning in the 40s. The national teams for Spain both women and men are hoping to follow in those footsteps in Pekin during the Olympic Summer Basketball Games!
