Monaco survived a thriller on the road against Pau-Lacq Orthez and grabbed the 70-68 victory. The visiting squad was paced by Elmedin Kikanovic’s monstrous performance, as the Bosnian big man finished with a double-double performance 16 points and 15 rebounds.
Paul Lacombe stepped up in the final seconds for the visitors, tapping a clutch-like basket with only 30 seconds remaining, so Monaco clinched its first win of the season.
