Theo Maledon's 26 points on 9-of-12 shooting were not enough to carry Real Madrid past Hapoel Ibi Tel Aviv. The French guard was pristine in 26 minutes — also dropping 7 assists and 5 rebounds while committing just a single turnover — but it proved a consolation in a 102–98 defeat. Maledon's efficiency (75% from the field, 7-for-7 from the line) kept Madrid competitive throughout, yet Hapoel's depth and execution in the final stretches tilted a tight game. Real Madrid's road trip ends in a loss despite one of their key players operating at near-flawless levels.
