<a href="https://www.archysport.com/2022/01/barcelona-anadolu-efes-summary-result-and-statistics-euroleague/" title="Barcelona – Anadolu Efes: summary, result and statistics | Euroleague“>Baskonia lost on their first visit to Paris (67-65), in a strange match, in which errors in shooting from distance resulted in a regrettable statistic. The Vitoria team managed just one triple out of 26 attempts, with Howard, the best triple shooter last season in the Euroleague, making only one of his eleven shots. With those numbers, the most logical thing was to lose, but Paris did not do much to win either, and that is why the final difference was so close.
Very strange things happened at the Adidas Arena, as if the Halloween atmosphere permeated the Baskonia game, because some of those things were terrifying, like the 17 consecutive missed three-pointers in the first three quarters until Howard made the first at the beginning of the last partial, of course the Parisians may also be surprised that their lead bomber, TJ Shorts, scored just two of his first fifteen shot attempts.
For this reason, among other things, the scoring of the most efficient team in the Euroleague remained low and allowed its advantage, which reached eleven points, not to increase in the final minutes. Baskonia handled their inside game and rebounding well, but from a distance, the basket was very far away. Moneke shone with his numbers against the fast but anarchic game of the Parisians, and it was the Nigerian who supported his team. Thanks to his work, Paris did not shoot up the scoreboard. He missed more than necessary under the rim, his shooters always found themselves with a wall of arms and it was not easy to score.
However, Baskonia, who at times gave up shooting three-pointers, was not too successful in shooting, not even in the free throw, where Moneke, who suffered six fouls and scored his eleven shots from the line, was also the most effective. , with Jaramaz having a remarkable last quarter, with several steals that gave life to his team.
