Hiopos Lleida suffered a 95-78 defeat against Real Madrid this March 15th, as a devastating second-quarter collapse proved too much for Gerard Encuentra's men to overcome.

Despite a promising start where Lleida led 16-17 after the first period, the game turned quickly. A 16-0 run by the home side in the second quarter established a gap that remained insurmountable for the rest of the evening.
Disciplinary issues also plagued the visitors, with Dani Garcia fouled out early in the third quarter. While Golomán and Shurna showed some resistance in the final stages, the lack of impact from key players like Batemon and Agada sealed the final 95-78 scoreline.
