Next to Real and Andorra, Fuenlabrada and Baskonia play the fastest basketball in Spain. Their games went over 180 and 205 points last year, and nothing changed significantly in their roster or game. What's interesting is that these two teams adjust to the opponent well. So, depending on who they play with, their total points change. Fuenlabrada went over the margin against Unicaja, Khimki, Bilbao twice, Alba and Murcia here - so teams who followed their running. When they hosted Barcelona, Valencia, Manresa or Lietuvos, they stayed under. An exception that confirms the rule could be their duel against Andorra - it stayed at 158 points because both teams had under 50% shots and played an awful third period where only 30 points was scored. Baskonia are almost identical when on the road. They went over this margin against Real, CSKA, Obradoiro, Joventut, Milano, Unics. They stayed under against tougher opponents like Panathinaikos, Zvezda or Žalgiris. The exceptions are the games against Betis who were missing half their team and got beaten 94-60, and Gran Canaria where the combined three-pointer shot was 10/45, something that's rarely seen. The exception on the other side is the 190 points' match against Valencia, only confirming Baskonia's fast game. Today, the only thing we can expect is a fast game. Popović, Hakansson, Rupnik and the rest of the great shooters on one, and Larkin, Prigioni and their guys on the other side - fast game is guaranteed. The stakes aren't that big in this game, so there's no pressure. It's just a league match at noon, and that should improve the game quality. If not at the level of those played last year, then at least for it to end over this margin.
