Newcomers Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot with 15 points and Kamar Baldwin with 12 led Baskonia to the 82-73 win over Monaco in the “Costa Del Sol” tournament in Malaga.
The Spaniards are turning the page under coach Pablo Laso and despite an off-shooting night by Markus Howard who had just 1/7 threes prevailed.
On the other hand, Monaco played without Mike James who has not yet joined the training camp since he is recuperating from back surgery, and got 13 points from their newcomer Furkan Korkmaz.
One day before, Monaco lost also to hosts Unicaja Malaga (79-72), however, it’s too early in the pre-season for any take aways about the team that also includes the former Fenerbahce duo of Nick Calathes and Giorgos Papagiannis.
