This Thursday evening, during the 25th day of the Euroleague men’s basketball, Monaco overthrew Red Star Belgrade (80-91).
Monaco has come a long way. This Thursday evening, on the occasion of the 25th day of the Euroleague of men’s basketball, the Rock club overthrew the Red Star of Belgrade, outside, to finally win 80-91. However, if we look at the face of this meeting, there was nothing to suggest a final outcome of this kind. Nevertheless, at the start of the meeting, it was the Monegasques who took control of this meeting from the outset, but without managing to take off. It was even the Serbs who did it, from the end of the first quarter (30-16, +14). Before then a one-sided second quarter during which Monaco was up to 20 points behind (45-25). After the break, Red Star Belgrade continued to race in the lead, but gradually lost their lead, until they were caught just before the start of the fourth and final quarter (64-64). .
Monaco remains in the race for the Final 8
After a final burst of pride (68-67), the Serbian club then definitively surrendered. Thanks to a particularly impressive second period, thea Roca Team has therefore been able to reverse a situation which nevertheless seemed to be on the wrong track, under the leadership in particular of his strong winger (or pivot) Lithuanian Donatas Motiejunas, who finished top scorer in his training but also top scorer of this meeting, with personal statistics of 20 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists. With this second success in a row, Monaco, eighth, remains more than ever in the race for the Final 8.
