The winningest teams in NBA and Euroleague history will face off in a preseason game on October 8, when the Boston Celtics take on Real Madrid as part of the 2015 NBA Global Games. The game will take place at Real's home arena, the Palacio de Deportes de la Comunidad de Madrid, two days after the Celtics face Olimpia Milano in Italy.
This will be the second meeting between the 17-time NBA champions and the nine-time Euroleague champions. They first met at the same venue in the final of the 1988 McDonald's Championship, with Boston taking a 111-96 win.
