oct 15 2026Andrés Feliz arrived at the game with confidence from his strong performance in Milan and delivered a masterclass. The Dominican point guard scored 26 points on 8-of-11 three-pointers and finished with a game-high 29 rating in Real Madrid's victory over ASVEL (111-92). It's the second consecutive win for Pedro Martínez's team, which bounces back from a slow start and improves to 3-3 in the EuroLeague.
The first half was an offensive showcase for Madrid, though less so on defense. The first quarter ended 27-25, after a three-pointer by Gabriele Procida that had made it 12-6 and responses from Sestina and Edwin Jackson. In the second quarter, Madrid's offense was nearly flawless: Mario Jantunen and Feliz opened up a 47-38 lead, a three-pointer by Juan Pradilla pushed the team to 50 points, and three consecutive three-pointers by Feliz before halftime made it 61-48. In the first half, Madrid made 15 of 21 two-pointers and 10 of 19 three-pointers.

ASVEL's Zone Defense Complicates Matters
Madrid's lead reached 16 points at the start of the third quarter (64-48), and that's when the team disconnected. ASVEL switched to a zone defense, Madrid began turning the ball over and forcing shots, and Joel Bolomboy and Hugo Besson scored nine points in a minute. Pedro Martínez called a timeout, Facundo Campazzo responded with a three-pointer, but ASVEL kept closing in until tying the game at 71.
Madrid Pulls Away Down the Stretch
The tie woke up Madrid. With Feliz and Theo Maledon, who finished with a 26 rating, the team regained control and pulled away in the final minutes. Chuma Okeke delivered one of the night's best plays, with a block, a rebound, and shutting down an ASVEL fast break. The fourth quarter was clearly Madrid's, and the final score was 111-92.
