Real Madrid beat Red Star Belgrade 105-84 in EuroLeague as Luwawu-Cabarrot and Procida shine

Fast start for Real Madrid

Real Madrid beat Red Star Belgrade 105-84 on Thursday, 12 November, at the Movistar Arena in Madrid, in round 11 of the 2026-27 EuroLeague regular season. The hosts led 38-20 after the first quarter, having made all nine of their two-point attempts and won the rebounding count 12-1. Gabriele Procida, an Italian player who had seen little action under Sergio Scariolo last season, started under Pedro Martínez and set the tone early. He hit one of the two three-pointers that opened the second quarter, with Andrés Feliz hitting the other, and reports credit him with 19 points and four rebounds. The early output came from fast breaks and open shots, which made the game look one-sided before Red Star responded.

Red Star's run before the break

Red Star, coached by Ibon Navarro, responded once its defence tightened and its long-range shots started to fall. The visitors' run is put at 2-17 in one report and at 2-19 in others, led by Tyson Carter and Chris Jones. Pedro Martínez called a timeout, but Christian Koloko's work in the low post helped prevent a quick Red Star reply. Jaime Pradilla then hit a three-pointer from the side late in the second quarter, and after drawing a foul he made both free throws, before Nick Smith Jr. added a triple that made it an 8-0 stretch. That run steadied Madrid, which led by 15 points at the break.

Scoring leaders and the third quarter

Timothé Luwawu-Cabarrot scored 22 points, while Procida scored 19 and Jaime Pradilla 5. Procida made four of his five three-pointers, the shooting behind his total. Walter Tavares helped restore the margin after the break, and the score reached 70-47, 78-53 and 80-57 in the third quarter. Madrid's rotation drew minutes from Olivier Sarr (24), Procida (22), Nick Smith Jr. (19), Sergio Llull (17) and Maksym Shulga (7).

Absences and Red Star's defence

Madrid played without Campazzo, Maledon, Jantunen, Deck and Garuba. Red Star arrived with the competition's best defence, conceding 74 points per game, and had held Olympiacos to 57 points a week earlier. Madrid's 38 first-quarter points were more than half of that per-game average. Madrid made 9 of 9 two-point attempts and 8 of 8 free throws, and it shot 4 of 9 from three-point range. The next week brings a double round, with trips to Besiktas and Olympiacos.
