In the <b>League<\/b>only Unicaja has defeated them at the Roig Arena. This season, <b>Real Madrid<\/b> and Valencia have faced each other five times, with a favorable record for our team at 3-2. In <b>Scariolo<\/b>&#8216;s three victories, in the aforementioned Copa semifinal (105-106) and in the two home games in the League (94-79) and EuroLeague (96-79), the common denominator has been three-point shooting and rebounding. Madrid has made as many or more three-pointers than their opponent with an efficiency of nearly 40% and has outperformed them in rebounding.<\/p>\n<p>Managing players&#8217; minutes will be key, considering that next week both teams will begin the <b>EuroLeague<\/b> playoffs. <b>Madrid<\/b>who will start on Wednesday the 29th at the Movistar Arena against Hapoel (8:45 pm CEST), will play their 71st game of the season tonight, one less than Valencia Basket.
