LDLC ASVEL Villeurbanne sent shockwaves through the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague with an 80-78 home win over Real Madrid after Paris Lee netted a game-winning baseline floater to settle a fascinating Round 13 rollercoaster. The home team’s forward Andre Roberson also played a vital role in the frantic finale as he blocked Facundo Campazzo’s layup before dishing the assist to Lee from a side out with 1.8 seconds left on the clock. Lee almost defied the laws of physics to net the winner and send the home crowd into raptures.
Theo Maledon paced ASVEL with 23 points, Lee finished with 13 points and Mbaye Ndiaye chipped in with 12 for the home team, which led by 10 points and then trailed by as many in a see-saw battle that kept fans on the edge of their seats from start to finish. At the other end, Mario Hezonja netted a team-high 19 points for Real but shot 2 of 10 from downtown, Gabriel Deck scored 17 and Walter Tavares racked up 10 points and 8 boards.

LDLC ASVEL Villeurbanne-Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul | RS Round 8 Highlights | 2024-25 Turkish Airlines EuroLeague
It was a high-scoring affair in the first quarter as both sides fired on all cylinders offensively, with the home team sharing the workload superbly while Eli Ndiaye nailed 3 triples from as many attempts at the other end to keep Real afloat. ASVEL was 9 of 11 from inside in the opening 10 minutes and the hosts carried that momentum into the second quarter, with Ndiaye giving the French team a 42-34 lead on the back of a four-point play.
The home team was up 53-43 ahead early in the third before Real beefed up its defense and turned the contest on its head with a 4-23 run. The hosts looked lost at sea as Campazzo peppered assists at the other end, while Hezonja found his range from inside to give Real a 59-69 lead early in the fourth.
Driven by Maledon, who sank 8 successive points, ASVEL engineered a 10-0 run to tie the score but Real looked the more likely winner when Hezonja nailed a deep three to fire the visitors 69-74 ahead. The Spanish side appeared to be home and dry after a three-point play from Tavares gave it a 73-78 advantage in the home straight, but the hosts forced a final twist and had the last laugh.
The brilliant Maledon sank a triple and then drove in a delightful reverse layup through traffic to tie the score, setting the stage for a heart-stopping climax. Campazzo thought he had won the game for Real but an official review overturned the initial call of Roberson’s goaltending. In an incredible twist of fortune. Roberson then teed up Lee to hit the game-winning floater from a nearly impossible angle at the death, giving ASVEL a memorable win while forcing Real into submission.
