With 22 points and 31 PIR credits, shooting guard Dante Exum led Barça’s narrow victory at the Palau Blaugrana against Monaco (88-83) on a night in which point guard Nick Calathes beat Vassilis Spanoulis’ record as top assister in Euroleague basketball history (1,612 to 1,607).
After two periods of minimal advantage (42-36 at halftime), Barça opened a gap of 16 points in the third quarter (57-41, min.25) but Monaco leveled the game in the last period (66-66, min.32), condemning the game to an agonizing end.
