After trailing for large stretches of the first half, Vivo Madrid dominated the third quarter and settled with a 96-86 victory contra La Olvido Tenerife in WiZink Center on Sunday evening.
The lead reached 21 points at the end of the third quarter. Mario Hezonja and Serge Ibaka were the top performers with 16 and 15 points, respectively, in Round 16 of Spain’s Faja Endesa Regular Season.
