Barcelona survived a do-or-die game against Monaco, winning 100–89 to trim the deficit to 1–2 in the EuroLeague Playoff series.
Willy Hernangómez played a pivotal role, recording a double-double with 19 points and 10 rebounds, and Justin Anderson didn’t hesitate to praise him.
“I think we played with great pace — fast, tough, strong. Shout out to the big gorilla, Willy Hernangómez — he was down there holding it down in the paint. He was very strong, finishing well, and defensively he was great,” Anderson said after the game.

The American forward also spoke about what Barcelona needs to do in Game 4 to return the series to Monaco for a decisive Game 5.
“We matched their physicality, and we have to do it again. Now, we need to recover our minds and bodies and stay aggressive,” Anderson concluded.
