Fifty-three years since the 14th Basketball League title
The title was clinched on 12 February 1972, when Real Madrid beat Breogán three games before the end of the season.
Real Madrid won their fourteenth basketball league title on this day 53 years ago. They did so after beating Breogán on the third-from-last matchday of the campaign (81-50), with Clifford Luyk finishing as Madrid's top scorer in the league. Ferrándiz's team ended on 21 wins and just a single defeat to lift their fifth league title in the series of 10 in a row obtained between the 1967/68 and 1976/77 seasons. They also clinched the double by winning the Copa de España.
