Paris resolved in their favor one of the best games in the EuroLeague so far, defeating Fenerbahce 111-109 at home after overtime.
It’s hard to describe everything we saw in the final minutes, with several spectacular plays and three-pointers on both sides, and Shavon Shields tied the game (109-109) for his team six seconds before the end.
However, there was still plenty of time for Paris. Maxime Lefevre called a timeout, and in the end, with the sound of the buzzer, Hifi secured the victory for the home team, alongside Wade Baldwin and Brayton Key.
Amidst the plenty of points on both sides, Hifi played one of the worst games of his career. The home team’s guard had only 3/17 from the field until the last attempt, committed four turnovers, received two blocks, and ended the game with just a PIR of 4. Nevertheless, Hifi will be remembered as the hero.
Nadir had already tried several times this season to secure a win for Paris — missing against Asvel and then Virtus, but he hit the mark on the third attempt, in a game where nothing seemed to go his way. So much so that Lefevre kept him on the bench for most of the overtime until the last 28 seconds.
However, in basketball, one second is enough, and Hifi ultimately became the hero for Paris, who recorded their fourth consecutive EuroLeague victory.
