The Key: Team coached by Zvezdan Mitrovic had an 8-0 run in the beginning of the last quarter. That was the decisive moment in the game as Juventus didn’t have enough energy to come back after that.
The Star: Amara Sy led Monaco, scoring 21 points while Paul Lacombe finished with 13.
Not enough: LaRon Dendy had 23 points for Juventus, but tonight that was not good enough.
