The French League Finals continue!
Paris had a chance to sweep the series in Monaco but fell short, as Vassilis Spanoulis’ team came back to win 81–78 and cut the series deficit to 1–2.
Jerome Blossomgame was the star with 26 points, despite a late unsportsmanlike foul that almost cost Monaco the win.
However, T.J. Shorts missed his chance to turn the game around, then committed an unsportsmanlike foul of his own, allowing Jordan Loyd to give Monaco some breathing room.
Nadir Hifi and Mikael Jantunen had a chance to send the game to overtime but missed three-pointers in the final seconds, and Monaco held on.
Elie Okobo added 17 points for the winning side, and Loyd scored 10, while Mike James remained suspended.
For Paris, Shorts led with 20 points, followed by Hifi (17) and Jantunen (13).
Game 4 is set for Sunday, June 22, at 16:30, once again in Monaco.
