It’s definitely not easy playing championship-level basketball in Euroleague and in the domestic competition. Just ask Monaco players who had to give it all tonight against Nancy to get another W in France.
The away side was leading most of the game, but in the end, Monaco made a big push at the right time. Elie Okobo and Jordan Loyd hit some crucial shots in the fourth quarter to secure the win for Monaco 83-79. They remain on top with 15 victories.
Elie Okobo led the way with 19 points, and Jordan Loyd added 15. It’s worth noting that Mike James did not play this game. For Nancy Caleb Walker scored 25 points.
It was not easy for ASVEL Lyon-Villeurbanne, expectantly in the first half against Paris. But a fourth-quarter push was enough to secure a double-digit win 86-69. Nando De Colo scored 20 points, followed by Dee Bost’s 18. Tyrone Wallace scored 21 points for Paris.
