Paris has long been out of postseason contention, but Maccabi Tel Aviv arrived in France hoping to keep its Play-In push alive.
Instead, Oded Kattash’s side suffered a heavy 113–80 defeat, significantly damaging its chances of reaching the Play-In.
Maccabi dropped to 18–18 with two games remaining, but the situation is not in its favor. Teams currently in the Play-In zone — AS Monaco, Crvena zvezda and Barcelona — all hold a 20–16 record, two wins clear of the Israeli side.
Paris took control from the opening quarter, scoring 41 points in the first 10 minutes. By the end of the third period, the hosts had built a commanding 93–58 lead, leaving Maccabi with no chance of a comeback in the French capital.
Paris was led by Justin Robinson with 25 points and six assists, while Sebastian Herrera added 16 and Allan Dokossi contributed 14. Nadir Hifi scored 12, and Amath M’Baye finished with 11 points.
On the other side, Lonnie Walker led Maccabi with 16 points, Marcio Santos added 13, while Zach Hankins and Oshae Brissett chipped in 12 points each.
