In 2021, the King’s Cup was held in Madrid. A competition marked by the fact that it was played without spectators due to the coronavirus pandemic, and the final was played between Barcelona and Real Madrid. The Catalans forged their victory with an impeccable first half, leaving the final practically sealed at the halfway point of the game (73-88). Cory Higgins was voted MVP

And it was all decided at half-time, when Barcelona went on a run of two halves, (11-20) in the first quarter, and (20-32) in the second, which put them 21 up at the half (31-52).

A first half that left Real Madrid, who could do little more than make up the final score, with the final result.
