Real crush Gala, Unicaja claim dramatic win

RudyFernandez-Cropped

Real Madrid cruised to another victory in the Euroleague on Friday with an emphatic 107-71 victory over Galatasaray Liv Hospital.

Last year's runners-up set a record for three-pointers made in a Top 16 game, shooting 18-from-28 from beyond the arc. 

Guard Rudy Fernandez hit five trebles for Real as he top scored with 17 points against Group E's bottom team.

Group F leaders Olympiacos maintained their quest to finish top of the pool with a 83-74 success at EA7 Olimpia Milano.

Othello Hunter (14 points and six rebounds) and Vassilis Spanoulis (14 points and eight assists) led the way for the Greek side in a contest they controlled throughout.

Elsewhere, Unicaja dented Anadolu Efes' hopes of a quarter-final berth with only their second victory of the Top 16 stage, triumphing 93-90.

Shooting guard Ryan Toolson settled the contest with a dramatic buzzer-beater, hitting a three-pointer with 0.8 seconds remaining to spark jubilant scenes among the Andalusian fans.
