Real Madrid make it perfect 10 in ACB basketball league

 MADRID, Dec. 2 (Xinhua) -- Real Madrid made it a perfect 10 out of 10 as they defeated CAI Zaragoza 94-79 to continue their perfect start to the season in the Endesa ACB Basketball League.

Jaycee Carroll netted 18 points in a solid all round performance to maintain Real Madrid's dominance and keep them two wins ahead of their nearest rivals.

Valencia remain second in the league after a convincing 79-65 win away to Herbalife Gran Canaria who had begun the weekend in third place.

Gran Canaria never overcame a poor first quarter in which they found themselves trailing 25-16 and were unable to contain Justin Dollman, whose 23 points for Valencia were decisive¹ in the final result.

Bilbao Basket moved into third place thanks to a comfortable 83.63 win over struggling Assignia Manresa. Axel Hervelle was unstoppable under the hoop² for Bilbao, who continue their impressive season.

Regal Barcelona were too strong for bottom of the table Cajasol and moved into sixth place with a 78-64 win that was perhaps harder than the final result indicates, given that Xavi Pascual's side only reacted after the second quarter after trailing by three points at the break.

Carl English produced the performance of the weekend as Asefa Estudiantes returned to winning ways with a 89-66 win over Blusens Monbus. English scored an incredible³ 39 points in his sides win.

Mad Croc Fuenlabrada's James Feldeine also scored over 30 points, netting 31 as his side turned recent improved performances into a positive result. Mad Croc defeated Blancos Rueda Valladolid 104-102 in an exciting high scoring game to climb away from the relegation⁴ zone.

Caja Laboral won their third successive match under new coach Zan Tabak. Andres Nocioni was the star of the show with 21 points and 14 rebounds⁵ to give his side a narrow 71-69 win in the Basque derby away to Lagun Aro, who continue with just one win all season and are now in the relegation zone.

Finally FIATC Joventut defeated CB Canarias 92-81 to close in on the play-off places.
