Monaco gets its revenge. Showered at the buzzer in the first leg in the Principality (85-84) on November 26 during the first leg between our two representatives in the Euroleague on an extraordinary basket from William Howard from the halfway line, the Roca Team was keen to take revenge, this Tuesday for the reunion between the two teams, this time on the floor of the Astroballe. The Monegasques succeeded, moreover with style (victory 100-75). Monaco, which had difficulty getting the upper hand over the Villeurbannais in the league on December 7 on the Rock, indeed martyred Tony Parker’s proteges, corrected in front of their audience by Mike James and his gang. Author at the passage of his 3000th point in the competition, the American leader was one of the major craftsmen of this cardboard which took shape during a second quarter clearly dominated (24-17) by the players of Sasa Obradovic.

Led by ten lengths at the break (51-41), ASVEL was however not at the end of its troubles. And like the second quarter, the second half also turned into a demonstration of the Roca Team, with the incredible Mike James still in charge, author of 20 points and 7 assists, perfectly supported by two of the other heroes of the evening Dwayne Bacon (21 points, 6 rebounds) and Donatas Motiejunas, leading scorer of the meeting with 22 points. A one-sided match which very quickly turned to the advantage of one of the two teams and finally succeeded with a tumble and a defeat of 25 points at the finish for the champions of France, humiliated at home by the players of the Principality, which thus chained a third victory. Like a symbol, Monaco, 9th, is also ahead of ASVEL (12th) in the standings. Difficult to take better revenge.
