Elite basket. Monaco retains its invincibility by winning against Gravelines. sport
Monaco dominated at home Gravelines 95 to 85, without forcing, to maintain their invincibility in the Elite Championship, Sunday in a staggered match of the 4th day. Two days after their demonstration on the floor of Virtus Bologna in the Euroleague (83-66), Sasa Obradovic’s men did it again against a voluntary but limited Gravelines team.
Monaco in the lead with Le Mans and Blois
From the start of the match, the Roca Team with its armada of stars took the visitors by the throat quickly sending 15 points after eight minutes of play (23-8). Carried by an insolent success inside or wide (15/16 in shooting), she maintained the gap on a basket from Okobo marked with the siren from the middle of the field (30-15)!
Without releasing the grip, the Monegasques, although deprived of the metronome Mike James, deployed a fluid basket and offered the spectacle to the public of Gaston-Médecin like this “alley-oop” concluded by Makoundou on a laser pass from Strazel bearing the mark at 51-26 (17th), before the quiet return to the locker room at 56-35.

Despite this last stand, Monaco was able to join Le Mans without trembling and the astonishing promoted Blois at the top of the standings with four successes in as many matches.
