Monaco came out firing in EuroLeague Round 14!
Vassilis Spanoulis’ side opened the game with a blistering 35-point first quarter, kept building the lead, and after a high-scoring third and fourth period, set a new EuroLeague scoring record in a 125–104 win over Paris.
The previous record for most points in regulation was 123, set by Maccabi Tel Aviv in 2004 and matched by Panathinaikos in 2007 — but Monaco officially rewrote the history books tonight.
Elie Okobo delivered an exceptional performance with 26 points on 8/10 shooting, adding eight assists and four rebounds for a PIR of 39. Matthew Strazel followed with 22 points and seven assists, Mike James chipped in 16 points and seven assists, while Nikola Mirotić scored 14 and Alpha Diallo added 10 for Monaco.
For Paris, Justin Robinson led the way with 24 points, Jared Rhoden added 22, and Nadir Hifi finished with 17 points.
Monaco thus picked up its third straight win to improve to 9–5, while Paris suffered its ninth loss of the season (5–9).
