By Eurohoops team / info@eurohoops.net

Monaco secured another victory in the EuroLeague, their sixth in a row, by defeating Paris on the road in the 22nd round with a score of 95-87.

Mike James was once again unstoppable against Paris, finishing this time with 23 points, five rebounds, and four assists. Alpha Diallo added 16 points, Elie Okobo had 12, while Nikola Mirotic ended the game with 11 points and nine rebounds. For Paris, Nadir Hifi scored 19 points, Jared Rhoden had 17, and Lamar Stevens added 11.

Although Paris started the match better and took an early lead (11-3), Monaco quickly turned things in their favor, took the lead, and did not relinquish it until the end. Francesco Tabellini’s team managed to tie the game in the middle of the third quarter (59-59), but at that moment, the visitors pulled away again, maintained the lead, and ultimately secured the victory without any drama.

Monaco is at the top of the EuroLeague standings with a 15-7 record, and in the next round, Vassilis Spanoulis’ team will host Crvena Zvezda. On the other hand, Paris has seven wins and 14 losses, and they will visit Valencia in the next round.
