Euroleague Drama: French Teams Lose Ground in Crucial Day 29
In a disastrous turn of events for French Euroleague representatives, none of the Betclic Elite clubs secured a victory on Day 29, just five days before the playoffs. This lackluster performance, particularly damaging for Paris Basketball and AS Monaco, has temporarily placed them out of the Top 6 and Top 4 respectively, as the competition intensifies.
ASVEL’s Sixth Straight Loss in Istanbul
| Team | Opponent | Score | Key Players | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ASVEL | Fenerbahçe | 82-92 |
|
In a valiant effort, ASVEL put up a strong fight against Fenerbahçe in Istanbul, but ultimately fell short. Despite stellar performances from Joffrey Lauvergne and Nando de Colo, the Turks’ collective effort proved too much, securing their 20-9 record and a solid step towards the Top 4. |
Paris Basketball’s Heartbreaking Defeat in Lithuania
| Team | Opponent | Score | Key Players | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Paris Basketball | Zalgiris Kaunas | 81-83 |
|
Paris Basketball was on the brink of victory with a commanding first-half performance, but a resurgent Sylvain Francisco led Zalgiris to a dramatic comeback. Francisco, who struggled early, finished with 15 points and 8 assists, sealing the win with a crucial basket in the final seconds. Paris, now out of the top 6, will need a miracle to reclaim their position. |
AS Monaco’s Playoff Hopes Diminish in Belgrade
| Team | Opponent | Score | Key Players | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| AS Monaco | Maccabi Tel Aviv | 88-91 |
|
In a heartbreaker, AS Monaco lost to Maccabi Tel Aviv in Belgrade, squandering a late lead and a heroic performance from Mike James. Rokas Jokubaitis secured the win with a game-winning layup in the final seconds, while Theis left the game injured, adding to Monaco’s woes. Monaco now sits outside the Top 4, creating uncertainty as they await their playoff fate. |
