However, they couldn’t close the game and ultimately suffered their tenth loss of the season. They are now standing on an 8-10 record.

EuroBasket champion with Slovenia Klemen Prepelic tried to push Levallois tonight. His trademark three-point shot wasn’t falling as he was 1/5 from behind the arc. However, his two-point game was working as he had 14 points tonight adding 7 assists as well.
