Real Madrid dropped the first two games against Caja Laboral, leaving them against the ropes and in need of sweeping the next three games if they want to make the finals.

Bush buying a stake  on the team (and later flipping it for 30 times its value) while Daddy was conveniently in the Oval Office, [...]

After Sunday left us with three teams sweeping their series, the only question that remained in the air was whether heavy favorites Real Madrid or gritty underdogs Cajasol would square up against Caja Laboral in the second round. With an underwhelming 67-60 win, Real Madrid managed to avoid the shameful upset. Ante Tomic and Sergio Llull [...]
