oct 13 2026Real Madrid had unfinished business: they hadn't won on the road in EuroLeague yet. They settled it in Milan in just ten minutes. They won the second quarter 15-32, went into halftime up thirteen, and controlled the game comfortably from there. The final 89-98 gives them their second straight win after their debut against Partizan. Armani Milano, the reigning Italian champions, suffer their fourth consecutive loss and heard boos in their own arena.
The game didn't start that way. Devon Hall scored 8 of Milano's first 10 points, and Leandro Bolmaro, Jason Burnell, and Garrison Mathews opened fire from three-point range. A Mathews three-pointer at the buzzer closed the first quarter 25-21 for the Italians.

Three Minutes to Break It Open
Madrid came out of the first break with a different rhythm. Tavares, Pradilla, and Maledon put together a 3-9 run that forced Poeta to call timeout. Still, Milano didn't fall apart. A flagrant foul by Tavares on Booker, who made all four free throws, brought it back to even (32-32), and a Bolmaro basket made it 39-39 with three minutes left in the half.
That's where the game ended. Campazzo took over and Damian Jones punished inside in a 1-14 run that sent Milano to the locker room down 40-53. Madrid finished the first half 8-for-12 from three-point range.
No Reaction from Milano
Nothing changed after halftime. A 2-10 run in less than three minutes, with Abalde, Maledon, and Andrés Feliz, forced Poeta to call another timeout. The lead reached 21 points. The crowd booed and called for Pippo Ricci instead of Alec Peters, and the Italian coach eventually made the change.
Bolmaro, with two straight three-pointers, was the only one attempting a comeback, but the third quarter closed at 67-84. The final period (22-14 for Milano) only served to make the scoreboard look better. Madrid had no trouble: Milano never got closer than 15 points until the final minutes, and Campazzo and Pradilla sealed it with the last baskets.
Madrid spread the scoring around. Maledon led with 16 points, Feliz added 15 off the bench, and Campazzo contributed 13 points and 6 assists. For Milano, Bolmaro scored 21 points, most of them after the game was already decided.
