Gravelines-Dunkerque surprised Paris Basketball and escaped with a victory on their visit to the French capital thanks to the 109-115 final score, a game decided in overtime.

Edon Maxhuni had a great performance, scoring 24 points, grabbing 4 rebounds, and dishing out 5 assists. Chris Babb, with his 20 points, was also key in securing the win for the EuroLeague team.

Nadir Hifi with 23 points and Lamar Stevens with 21 were the top scorers for the home team, who couldn’t secure a win in the domestic competition after failing to complete the comeback.

After trailing throughout the game and even facing a 17-point deficit at 72-89 in the final quarter, Paris Basketball came very close to turning the game around.

Thanks to an impressive final stretch, the Parisians rallied to force overtime, tying the score at 97-97 at the end of 40 minutes.

But in overtime, the visitors left no chance and claimed a great and unexpected victory, bringing their record to 7-15, two wins above the relegation zone.
