Monaco return to victory against Bayern Munich
If ASVEL has found a smile with the defeat this Thursday, Monaco has found a smile in the Euroleague! Clearly reserved by Olympiacos, Zvezdan Mitrovic’s players did not miss the meeting against Bayern Munich on their floor in the Salle Gaston-Médecin. During the 40 minutes, the “Roca Team” never let go of the reins on the scoreboard against the Bavarians caught up in speed by the three-point precision of Léo Westermann (13 points). Will Thomas (13 points) then joined the effort of the French international leader to allow the club of the Principality to count up to eleven lengths in advance in this only first quarter. The Bavarians, generated by Othello Hunter (14 points) sent a little shiver in the Monegasque room by immediately returning to five lengths but the ASM was able to curb this backfire in Munich. The start of the second quarter saw the gap oscillate between seven and thirteen points but Dwayne Bacon (16 points) was then out of his box to allow Monaco to regain their ease and return permanently above ten points. ‘advance. It is even with a margin of twelve lengths that the Monegasques have found their locker room.

Monaco did not let Bayern Munich return
Back on the floor, Bayern Munich resisted. Vladimir Lucic’s teammates (15 points) were able to tighten the game at the defensive level to block Monaco to just 17 points during the ten minutes of the third quarter. At the same time, Andrea Trinchieri’s players have found some solutions in attack. Efforts which were however insufficient to allow the German club to reduce the gap on the Monegasques, which made it possible to obtain the last ten minutes of the meeting with the same advantage of twelve points. A last quarter which saw the “Roca Team” let go of the horses on both sides of the field. Leaving Bayern Munich only four points in almost seven minutes, teammates Danilo Andjusic (16 points) and Donta Hall (7 points, 8 rebounds) multiplied the offensive waves to reach the 20 point lead. A limit below which the players of Zvezdan Mitrovic fell only twice before flying away definitively to the score. Monaco signs its fifth victory in nine games with 23 points ahead (94-71) to move up to eighth place in the standings and prolong the doubt of a Bayern Munich team beaten for the second time in a row.
