Real Madrid had regained the lead & when Barcelona attempted a long throw tap-on & missed the winner of the Basketball Spanish Cup for 2014 was decided. FC Barcelona lost 76 - 77 to Real Madrid which proclaimed themselves winners of this years Basketball Copa del Rey. Its their 24th Spanish Cup title in the history of the Real Madrid Basketball Club.

The Basketball Spanish Cup Final victory at Malaga over arch rivals Barcelona puts the icing on the Real Madrid Basketball team which are having one of their best seasons in history. As expected Barça lifted for this occasion playing a very good & concentrated match that nearly gave them the victory had the last moment shot of Real Madrid player Llull not gone in.

Real Madrid won thanks to an impressive game from Morotic ( 17 points tonight ) who was given the MVP from the whole tournament. Along with Moratic, Sergio Rodriguez was outstanding & Rudy Fernandez was on target. Overall a great team effort that went down to the wire & entertained the packed Malaga stadium.
