Booker’s three-pointer pulled it back to 36-26, capping a 0-7 run as Real failed to score for more than four minutes. Hezonja reignited Real from the foul line, and close-range finishes for Tavares and Hezonja made it 43-26. Campazzo’s layup was bettered by Obst’s triple, but Hezonja scored the last 5 points of the half for a 52-33 lead.
Booker’s dunk started the second half, but Tavares’s layup and Abalde’s three-ball kept Real comfortable. Johannes Voigtmann scored from long and close-range, but Hezonja’s fadeaway and another Abalde triple made it 64-43. Campazzo and Nick Weiler-Babb traded deep strikes, before Tavares stayed hot with another layup. Hezonja and Abalde maintained a big margin despite 9 points in 3 minutes from Napier, and it was 73-55 after three quarters.

Late three-balls from Obst – his fourth of the night – and Real youngster Hugo Gonzalez completed the scoring, but the outcome had been decided long before.
