Kosner Baskonia has won 89-100 to Real Madrid this Sunday and has proclaimed itself the 2026 King 's Cup champion at the Roig Arena in Valencia. The Alavés team has broken expectations and won the title, seventeen years afterthe last, thanks to the attacks of the Luwawu-Cabarrot, Omoruyi and Forrest trio, as well as the resistance exercises.
Theteam led by Paolo Galbiati has had a difficult start, but it has recovered. Real Madrid has come out superbly, with external shots and defensive aggressiveness, and has achieved a worrying margin in the first three minutes. However, the Baskonia has not been intimidated. Timothé Luwawu-Cabarrot has taken over the game, attacked decisively and infected the rest.
In the middle of the second quarter, after a strong partial (14-0), when the match seemed to be for the whites again, the Alaveses have held back again. Luwawu-Cabarrot, together with Trent Forrest and Eugene Omoruyi, have held the team before the break and avoided a greater disadvantage.
When Luwawu-Cabarrot had to sit down for faults, Markus Howard , who had hitherto been in the shadows, scored at the decisive moment and secured the victory. Thus, with 73 points divided between the three offensive referees and Howard's final blow, Baskonia crossed the finish line as a champion and unleashed the joy of the fans in Valencia.
