Real Madrid

 Madrid started the season with a new title, the Intercontinental Cup, beating Bauru of Brazil. With some of its players tried after a long off-season with their national teams, Madrid did not have a good start of the Euroleague season, winning just 2 of its opening 7 games. That put Los Blancos with their backs against the wall, in need to win its last 3 regular season games to make it to the next round. Madrid downed Fenerbahce Istanbul, FC Bayern Munich and Strasbourg - setting a new assists record in this one, 36 - to reach the Top 16. Three consecutive road wins against Khimki Moscow Region, Brose Baskets Bamberg and Zalgiris Kaunas seemed to give Los Blancos a cushion but three consecutive losses left Madrid facing a do-or-die game against Khimki for survival in Top 16 Round 14. Madrid won 83-70, but it would be its last win in the 2015-16 Euroleague, as Fenerbahce swept their best-of-five playoffs series, dethroning the reigning champs.
