Real Madrid shatters the three-point record in Liga Endesa

The Madrid team led by Pedro Martínez put on a historic exhibition of three-pointers in the Liga Endesa that surpassed all previous records in the competition. The white team achieved 24 successful shots from long distance in the match against Hiopos Lleida, leaving behind the previous best mark of 23 triples achieved by both Unicaja Málaga and Kosner Baskonia in past seasons.

Real Madrid's offensive precision was absolutely devastating. The team attempted 45 shots from beyond the 6.75 and finished the game with a shooting percentage of 53 percent, a figure that reflects the quality of their outside game. This effectiveness was decisive for the final score of 122-86 against the Catalans.

Maledon and Luwawu-Cabarrot, record protagonists

The performance of Theo Maledon was crucial in achieving this historic milestone. The Madrid player set his own personal record as a professional by scoring 7 three-pointers out of 8 attempts from long distance. His performance was particularly brilliant in the final moments of the match, where he sealed the record with a buzzer-beater three-pointer that confirmed the new historic mark.

However, it was Timothé Luwawu-Cabarrot who took the spotlight during the most exciting moments. The French forward scored 5 three-pointers in just the last 3 minutes and 3 seconds of the game, demonstrating surgical precision in moments of maximum tension. In total, Luwawu-Cabarrot finished with 7 successful shots from the perimeter, sharing leadership on the night of threes alongside Maledon.

Distribution of successes in the Madrid team

Achieving the record was not the responsibility of just two players. The distribution of successful shots from long distance in Real Madrid was balanced and demonstrates the collective offensive potential of the team. Andrés Feliz contributed with 3 three-pointers, while Jantunen and Sergio Llull added 2 successful shots each. Nick Smith, Jaime Pradilla, and Alberto Abalde rounded out the distribution with one three-pointer each.

This variety in perimeter scorers highlights that offensive success did not depend on isolated actions, but on a well-executed collective scheme. Every player who stepped on the court contributed to the construction of the historic record, reflecting the tactical solidity of the Madrid team under Pedro Martínez's direction.

Context of the 5th round of the Liga Endesa

The match against Hiopos Lleida is part of the 5th round of the league competition, where Real Madrid demonstrated its ability to execute offensive play with precision. The combination of ball movement, spacing, and individual execution allowed the Madrid team to generate three-point shooting opportunities consistently.

The blowout reflected the absolute dominance of the capital team throughout the 40 minutes of play. Although Hiopos Lleida tried to compete, Real Madrid's offensive superiority from long distance proved insurmountable. The final difference of 36 points evidences the magnitude of the victory and the quality of the collective performance.

Historical significance of the record

The mark of 24 three-pointers represents an important milestone in the recent history of the Liga Endesa. It surpasses the previous records established by Unicaja Málaga in the 24/25 season and Kosner Baskonia in the 25/26 season, both with 23 successes. This new record positions Real Madrid as a benchmark in offensive efficiency from long distance in the Spanish competition.

The achievement is not merely statistical but reflects the evolution of modern basketball in the Liga Endesa, where the ability to score from three points has become a decisive factor. Real Madrid has demonstrated that, with the right execution, it is possible to reach heights never before seen in collective precision from the perimeter.
