And three in the EuroLeague! In front of the 8,000 people who filled the adidas arena this Friday evening, our players did the job to achieve this third victory in a row against Baskonia (67-65).
At the end of a tight match, Tiago Splitter found the keys against his former club to obtain a positive result for the first time in the club’s history in the EuroLeague (4 wins, 3 losses). From the start of the match, Yakuba Ouattara sets the tone and scores on a big offensive rebound.
Tyson Ward finds the three-point basket twice and with our big defense, the Basque players are forced to take very complicated shots. While Maodo Lô and Mikael Jantunen also began to find the long-distance target and Paris took an 11-point lead. At the break, our players are still in the lead (38-35).
THE B! THE M!
DOUBLE TROUBLE

Upon returning from the locker room, the intensity increases a notch and both teams find it more difficult to score. By pulling away from the offensive rebound and continuing to plant three points, our players were up to nine points ahead before the last quarter (57-48). Kevarrius Hayes starts the last ten minutes and keeps us ahead. TJ Shorts scores in the paint and after securing rebounds, our Parisians win to clinch a third victory in a row (67-65) in the EuroLeague.
Even if no player exceeded ten points, the 11 players who took the floor all scored.
A big victory snatched by the whole team which is positive! We continue in the championship against Nancy on Sunday.
