Mike James exceeded 5,000 points scored in the Euroleague and promoted the triumph (92-85) Monegasco
MADRID, 5 Feb. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The Saski Baskonia has lost this Wednesday for 92-85 during its visit to AS Monaco, within the 25th day in the regular season of a Euroleague where the Monegasques are still very high, while the Vitorians have seen their persecution in danger to the area of the area of the area of the area of the area of the area of the ‘Play-in’.
In the Salle Gaston-Médecin, five days after the Paraqué fell Real Madrid, the locals started with a partial of 6-0 and revealed how to punish rival errors. Georgios Papagiannis stood out in the inner game and in front opened a 2+1 account by Luka Samanic, prolonged by a triple of Timothé Luwawu-Cabarrot.
Despite flipping the score (12-16) thanks to the brega in attack by Trent Forrest and Donta Hall, Baskonia began to suffer from both Nick Calathes and Matthew Strazel, for Mike James’s enjoyment in the bulb and for Alpha diallo in the low post. In fact, until the first quarter (23-18) just smiled a team on the court.
Markus Howard, the main baskonist weapon, was dried by the local defense, even being the object of two colorful caps. That caused the Monaco to increase its advantage gradually (35-23, 44-30) giving a lesson of assists, especially by Strazel’s work. At rest, those of the Principality were 51-35 above and the spotlights posed in James.
He and his companions had closed the first half with 16/20 in two and 17 basket passes, statistics that adorned the Portland base (Oregon, USA). Not surprisingly, the former Baskonia player was close to a record in the Euroleague and took little to beat him at the return of changing rooms.
With 57-49 in the electronic and 6:18 to set the third act, James put a free kick that he had at his disposal after having missed a triple attempt; Although he missed his first two releases, in the last one he applauded the pavilion for having reached 5,000 points scored in the maximum European competition.
Paradoxically, Pablo Laso’s pupils raised the flight from that moment of Monegasca smile. Thus, a triple of Nikos Rogkavopoulos began a partial of 4-14 that hilvanaron in the ‘painting’ between Chima Moneke and endures Hall, ex-players both of a monaco that this time had stopped without explanation.
The squad led by Vassilis Spanoulis, being tied (63-63) hoped that James remained inspired and that Strazel helped him. A new stretch on the scoreboard (70-63), signed at the beginning of the fourth period, seemed like a bad omen for Baskonia, but Forrest again guided the attacks with skill and Hall culminated the comeback visitor.
In response, Calathes and Papagiannis put 83-80, extended to 85-80 after another James action. Then a triple of Rogkavopoulos gave the visitors fleeting, but immediately papagiannis and James bitter them, respectively with a mate of ‘Alley-Oop’ and with an easy basket to the backlash (89-83), after robbery on their own court.
Although the Alavés Club had 1:18 on the clock to work the miracle before the conclusion, Moneke missed a triple to the desperate and dial it below that he cast his. Closing the gaps behind, the Monaco sealed its triumph to be located with a balance of 16-9; Instead, Baskonia now has a 10-15 record.
