Pau Gasol received a standing ovation from Real Madrid fans prior to Game 1 of the ACB Finals on Sunday.
Gasol, a two-time NBA champion and European legend, returned to FC Barcelona earlier this season and played in the ACB Finals for the first time in 20 years (2001).
Gasol had eight points and eight rebounds, as FC Barcelona dominated Game 1 (75-89) to come a step away from the championship.
