At the end of a very physical match, our Parisians validated a fifth victory in a row against Zalgiris Kaunas (83-77) in front of their supporters, before ending this week with two other matches.
In front of 7,000 people present at the adidas arena this Wednesday evening, Paris won its fifth success in a row in the EuroLeague! In this reunion match, our players were able to do what was necessary at the very end of the match to continue this incredible winning streak.
From the start, TJ Shorts and Collin Malcolm start with aggression and hurt the opposing defense. Barely entering the floor, Nadir Hifi sends his first three-point arrow and Tiago Splitter’s men take the lead (17-16). Before returning to the locker room, Bandja Sy also scores from afar before TJ shows his full offensive range. Thanks to an and-one he leaves us in the lead at the break (40-36).
With a very strong defense, they maintain their lead while TJ and Nadir chain three-point shots and the adidas arena ignites before the last 10 minutes (62-56). Under the eyes of former rugby player Yannick Nyanga and journalist HugoDécrypte, Kevarrius Hayes hurts his former team in the racket and continues to fight for rebounds on both sides of the field. Mikael Jantunen then folds this meeting with another award-winning success to sign a fifth success in a row (83-77)!
TJ Shorts delivered yet another boss performance with his 21 points and 6 assists, while Collin Malcolm was perfect with his 17 points (6/6 shooting).
After a trip to the Barcelona court in two days, our players then host SIG Strasbourg at home on Sunday November 17 (7 p.m.).
