Monaco so close to the feat!
by Arnaud Lauzerte (iDalgo)
Monaco almost achieved the feat of the day against Real Madrid in the Euroleague! The Rock club was not far from overthrowing the European giant and bowed 94 – 86 on the Spanish floor! However, the Monegasques chased the score the whole game!
During the first quarter, the principality’s players were crushed by the Madrilenians with a scathing 30 – 12. But the “Roca Team” recovered in the second to return to 12 units of the Spaniards (51 – 39).
Bis repeated after the break where the Monegasques came back even closer to the locals at just 7 points (72 – 65).
In the last quarter, Zvezdan Mitrovic’s men are tied 3 minutes from the end (81 – 81), but Real Madrid accelerates one last time and ultimately wins 94 – 86 in an unbreathable end of the match. Monaco, carried by a great Mike James author of 24 points, concedes its first defeat of the season in the Euroleague and is in 8th place in the standings!
