Baskonia Vitoria-Gasteiz v AS Monaco (2024-11-14T19:30:00.000Z)

Olympiacos Piraeus grabbed a narrow 91-94 victory over Maccabi Playtika Tel Aviv at Aleksandar Nikolic Hall in Round 10 of the 2024-25 Turkish Airlines EuroLeague. 

Resilient Olympiacos edges Maccabi, 91-94

Olympiacos Piraeus grabbed a narrow 91-94 victory over Maccabi Playtika Tel Aviv at Aleksandar Nikolic Hall in Round 10 of the 2024-25 Turkish Airlines EuroLeague. The visitors started strong and led 24-29 heading into the second quarter, but Maccabi responded with a 13-0 run to secure a 53-42 cushion at halftime. Yet, Olympiacos tightened up its defense, outscored Maccabi 10-28 in the third and maintained its lead to secure its fifth consecutive victory. The Reds improved to 7-3, while Maccabi dropped to 3-7.

Sasha Vezenkov led all scorers with 21 points and Evan Fournier netted 20. Nikola Milutinov paired his 11 points with 8 rebounds, with Nigel Williams-Goss and Luca Vildoza scoring 10 each. Jaylen Hoard paced Maccabi with 20 points, Levi Randolph netted 15, Roman Sorkin had 13 and Tamir Blatt added 12.

Vildoza and Wenyen Gabriel traded scores inside before 5 points from Vezenkov and a corner triple from Fournier gave Olympiacos an early 2-10 lead. Blatt netted a jumper and Randolph drilled a triple, but Vezenkov added another 6 points to his tally and Moustapha Fall scored in the paint for a 12-20 cushion. A three-pointer from David DeJulius was followed by Milutinov’s first bucket of the night before Kostas Papanikolaou buried one from beyond the arc to make it 16-25. An exchange of blows followed from inside, as buckets from Saben Lee and DeJulius trimmed the deficit to 24-29 after 10 minutes.

Milutinov and Moses Wright opened the second quarter with back-to-back baskets, but Maccabi responded with a 7-0 run energized by an explosive Gabriel to make it 31-33. Olympiacos replied with Wright netting a hook and Tyler Dorsey completing a three-point play to restore a 31-38 lead. Maccabi fought back and went on a 13-0 run inspired by Jokubaitis, Hoard and Randolph, who dominated in the paint against the opposing forwards. Sorkin nailed a triple and William Rayman scored a put-back basket before a triple from Lee allowed Maccabi to take a 53-42 lead into the second half.

Thomas Walkup started the third with a midrange jumper, but 4 points from Sorkin gave Maccabi a 57-44 lead. A Vildoza triple was followed by Fournier’s three-point play before another triple from the former brought Olympiacos within 59-55. Gabriel netted inside, but 7 points from Fournier put Olympiacos ahead, 61-62. The visitors tightened up their defense and ran in transition, extending their run to 2-13 for a 63-70 cushion after 30 minutes.

Nigel Williams-Goss and Vildoza scored inside but 4 points from Randolph and a bucket from Hoard trimmed the deficit to 71-74. Buckets from Milutinov and Fournier sandwiched a Sorkin triple before a three-point play from Williams-Goss opened a 76-81 margin. Yet, Rayman nailed one from deep and Hoard made 2 from the line to bring Maccabi within 81-82 with 2:47 remaining. A Fournier triple was followed by a layup from Jokubaitis in transition, but Williams-Goss drilled a corner three-pointer to restore an 83-88 lead. 

After Blatt responded with a midrange jumper, a hard-fought Milutinov bucket inside made it 85-90 with a minute left on the clock. Then, Sorkin netted 3 free throws to make it a 2-point game, but Vezenkov hit from the charity stripe to make it a two-possession duel, 88-92, with 16 seconds to go. Blatt nailed a quick triple before Vezenkov scored free throws for a 91-94 cushion with 0:10 left. In Maccabi’s last possession of the game, Lee missed from deep to seal the outcome.

Coach Bartzokas's men have now won five in a row

Maccabi Playtika Tel Aviv v Olympiacos Piraeus (2024-11-14T18:00:00.000Z)

Although KK Partizan ended up losing to FC Barcelona in Round 9, Mitar Bosnjakovic and Aleksej Pokusevski were two bright spots for the Serbian team.

Youngsters give Partizan hope despite fresh loss

It may seem hard to believe in the wake of a fifth consecutive victory that leaves the team struggling near the foot of the standings with a 2-7 record, but Wednesday night’s home defeat to [FC Barcelona](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/teams/fc-barcelona/bar/) may just have witnessed the birth of a new and improved version of [Partizan Mozzart Bet Belgrade](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/teams/partizan-mozzart-bet-belgrade/par/).

It certainly didn’t feel that way midway through the third quarter, when coach Zeljko Obradovic’s pleas for his team to show some energy had fallen on deaf ears. Instead, Barcelona had stretched a 14-point halftime lead into a seemingly impregnable 23-point advantage, 40-63, as Partizan scored precisely zero field goals in the first five minutes of the third period.

The crowd inside Belgrade Arena had fallen unusually silent, with the visitors looking in cruise control and Partizan offering no indication that it was even going to muster much resistance. But then, bit by bit, came the comeback.

It started from the foul line, as Partizan netted 13 free throws without a miss in the third period. Then, with confidence boosted by that steady trickle of points, the Serbian team finally started to find its shooting range.

A three-pointer from [Carlik Jones](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/carlik-jones/013369/) to finish the third period was followed by the same player netting a layup-and-one to start the fourth, followed by a pair of scores from debutant [Mitar Bosnjakovic](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/mitar-bosnjakovic/012167/). Then came a trio of triples, supplied by [Duane Washington](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/duane-washington/013370/), [Frank Ntilikina](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/frank-ntilikina/006591/) and [Aleksej Pokusevski](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/aleksej-pokusevski/008232/), all accompanied by swarming defense which restricted Barcelona to 2 points in 6 minutes, and somehow Partizan had turned a 23-point deficit into a single possession game and a chance to snatch an unlikely win.

That did not happen, because Barcelona eventually found enough offense in the final possessions to come away with [a 79-87 victory](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/news/barcelona-back-in-first-place-after-downing-partizan-79-87/), but the fact that Partizan had at least made it close allowed the loud and loyal home faithful to come away from the game with a degree of optimism.

Tellingly, two players at the center of the comeback were a pair of local youngsters: 18-year-old swingman Bosnjakovic and forward Pokusevski, 22, whose spirited efforts suggested they could become the heart and soul of a team that is understandably still very much in development after a dozen summer signings.

The prominence of Pokusevski is no surprise. This is, after all, the youngest-ever player to represent [Olympiacos Piraeus](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/teams/olympiacos-piraeus/oly/) in the EuroLeague, with an NBA triple-double under his belt, who can already be regarded as a veteran even now, a month short of his 23rd birthday. In truth, it’s surprising that his 12 points against Barcelona represented a season high, and Pokusevski should go from strength to strength as the season continues.

Bosnjakovic, however, was a curveball selection in the starting five from the old master Obradovic. The 18-year-old had never previously set foot on a EuroLeague court, but looked totally unfazed as he scored the first basket of the game and continued to impress throughout his debut, which ended with very solid totals of 6 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 steals in 19 minutes on the floor.

A two-time winner of the Adidas Next Generation Tournament during his time as a young player with [Real Madrid](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/teams/real-madrid/mad/), Bosnjakovic was already a well-known figure to close followers of underage European basketball. Now he is stepping up to senior level, and already looks like he belongs.

If he can continue to progress, and takes Pokusevski along for the ride, Partizan’s new nucleus could very soon take shape.

Mitar Bosnjakovic and Aleksej Pokusevski were two bright spots for the Serbian team

Partizan Mozzart Bet Belgrade v FC Barcelona (2024-11-13T17:00:00.000Z)

Filip Petrusev enjoyed his best performance since returning to KK Crvena zvezda in Round 9 as he dominated in a 90-98 road win at AS Monaco to secure MVP of the Round honors in the EuroLeague.

Round 9 MVP: Filip Petrusev, KK Crvena zvezda

[Filip Petrusev](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/filip-petrusev/011194/) enjoyed his best performance since returning to [Crvena Zvezda Meridianbet Belgrade](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/teams/crvena-zvezda-meridianbet-belgrade/red/) in Round 9 as he dominated in a 90-98 road win at AS Monaco to secure MVP of the Round honors.

His round-high 38 PIR is a new personal high in the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague, surpassing the 36 PIR that saw him take home Round 17 MVP honors in the 2022-23 season – the only other time he has been the MVP of the Round. Petrusev ended up tying his career high in scoring with 25 points, the same total he managed in that Round 17 contest, after going 4 of 6 on two-pointers, 2 of 3 from three-point range and 11 for 11 on free throws. His 7 rebounds are a season high, of which 2 came on the offensive end, and he also had 1 assist, 1 steal and drew 11 fouls, the most of any player this season. In addition, Petrusev’s 38 PIR is the joint highest index rating recorded this season, level with Paris Basketball’s TJ Shorts, who earned Round 5 MVP honors with his 38 PIR night which also came at Monaco.

In second place is LDLC ASVEL Villeurbanne’s [Theo Maledon](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/theo-maledon/007027/), who set a new career best with a 37 PIR but ended up on the losing side in a 94-92 defeat at Olympiacos Piraeus. Maledon beat his previous-best mark of 36, which came in Round 4 of this current season. The French guard erupted for a career-high 31 points, making 4-of-9 two-pointers, 4-of-8 three-pointers and 11-of-12 free throws, as well as grabbing 7 rebounds, dishing 5 assists, making 1 steal and drawing 10 fouls. 

Third on the list is ALBA Berlin center [Trevion Williams](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/trevion-williams-/012604/) with a 33 PIR, also a career best. In an epic 105-101 win over EA7 Emporio Armani Milan, a game that saw ALBA missing eight players, Williams netted a career-high 23 points on 7-of-10 two-pointers, 1-of-1 three-pointers and 6-of-8 free throws, in addition to recording a season-high tying 11 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals and 5 drawn fouls. 

Milan duo [Zach LeDay](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/zach-leday/008987/) and [Nikola Mirotic](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/nikola-mirotic/000796/) complete the best performers in Round 9, each setting new season highs with a 32 PIR. Mirotic had a 28-point, 10-rebound double-double and also dished 1 assist, while LeDay scored a season-best 23 points, pulled down 5 rebounds, made 1 assist and recorded 1 steal.

### Individual highs: Theo Maledon, ASVEL, 31 points

ASVEL star Theo Maledon netted 31 points in Round 9, the second most of any player this season. FC Bayern Munich guard [Carsen Edwards](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/carsen-edwards/011987/) remains atop the season-long scoring charts with 20.6 points per game.

ALBA’s Trevion Williams pulled down a round-high 11 rebounds. ASVEL’s [Neal Sako](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/neal-sako/010545/) leads the way in rebounding this season with 8.5 boards per night.

Three players – ALBA’s [Matteo Spagnolo](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/matteo-spagnolo/008173/), Real Madrid’s [Facu Campazzo](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/facundo-campazzo/005928/) and FC Barcelona’s [Tomas Satoransky](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/tomas-satoransky/002939/) – dished 9 assists, the most in this round. Maccabi Playtika Tel Aviv playmaker [Tamir Blatt](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/tamir-blatt/011193/) is the top assist provider in the EuroLeague with 8.8 dimes per contest.

There were eight players – ALBA’s [Gabriele Procida](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/gabriele-procida/008384/), Milan’s [Leandro Bolmaro](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/leandro-bolmaro/008985/), ASVEL’s [Shaq Harrison](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/shaquille-harrison/013371/), Crvena Zvezda’s [Nemanja Nedovic](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/nemanja-nedovic/000848/), the Olympiacos duo of [Thomas Walkup](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/thomas-walkup/008855/) and [Evan Fournier](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/evan-fournier/013380/), and Zalgiris Kaunas pair [Sylvain Francisco](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/sylvain-francisco/007975/) and [Ignas Brazdeikis](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/ignas-brazdeikis/011983/) – who recorded a round-high 3 steals each. Monaco’s [Mike James](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/mike-james/005985/) is in first place in steals with 1.7 per game.

Two players – ASVEL’s [Mbaye Ndiaye](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/mbaye-ndiaye/012731/) and Anadolu Efes Istanbul’s [Vincent Poirier](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/vincent-poirier/004887/) – blocked 3 shots in Round 9, which were the most in the league. ALBA’s [Khalifa Koumadje](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/khalifa-koumadje/010791/) is first overall in blocks with 1.8 rejections per night.

ALBA's Trevion Williams (23 points, 11 rebounds) and Milan’s Nikola Mirotic (28 points, 10 rebounds) recorded the only two double-doubles in Round 9.

The latest double-round week roars to a conclusion with another exciting set of games in Round 10 of the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague on Thursday and Friday. Here’s your guide to the action, including a German derby and a big battle at the top of the standings.

## Thursday, November 14

### Maccabi Playtika Tel Aviv vs. Olympiacos Piraeus (19:00 CET)

Fast-rising Olympiacos will look to make it five straight wins as it travels to Belgrade to face struggling Maccabi (3-6). The Reds held on for an exciting victory over ASVEL on Tuesday thanks to another strong performance from [Evan Fournier](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/evan-fournier/013380/), who's averaged 20.3 points in the last three games. The Israeli champ fell to a fifth loss in six games by fading away in the fourth quarter at Panathinaikos earlier this week and needs to improve defensively after allowing 33 points in the last 10 minutes of that defeat. [Roman Sorkin](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/roman-sorkin/011219/) continued his solid season by contributing 21 points in Athens along with 5 offensive rebounds and that ability to gain extra possessions could be crucial against an increasingly confident Olympiacos, which has passed the 90-point mark in the last three games.

### LDLC ASVEL Villeurbanne vs. Crvena Zvezda Meridianbet Belgrade (20:00 CET)

Zvezda (5-4) will look for its second road of the week against an ASVEL team (2-7) that must quickly lift its spirits after suffering a narrow loss at Olympiacos in Round 9. The French team will be powered by [Theo Maledon](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/theo-maledon/007027/), whose remarkable performance of 31 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists in Piraeus further cemented his status as one of the league’s most exciting talents. [Shaq Harrison](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/shaquille-harrison/013371/) is rapidly becoming a strong backcourt partner for Maledon, and that duo faces a tough test against the dynamic abilities of [Codi Miller-McIntyre](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/codi-miller-mcintyre/009048/), who again impressed with 20 points as Zvezda overcame Monaco earlier this week. The Serbian team will also hope that [Filip Petrusev](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/filip-petrusev/011194/) can continue his game-by-game improvement after taking home Round 9 MVP honors with a 25-point, 7-rebound performance in that eye-catching win.

Round 10 Head-to-Head: Ndiaye vs. Petrusev

### FC Bayern Munich vs. ALBA Berlin (20:30 CET)

German rivals will battle for supremacy as Bayern (6-3) looks to recover the winning feeling with a visit from ALBA (2-7). The teams experienced contrasting emotions earlier in the week, with Bayern falling to Fenerbahce’s second half whirlwind in Istanbul while ALBA overcame a long injury list to claim a thrilling overtime win against Milan. Talented guard [Matteo Spagnolo](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/matteo-spagnolo/008173/) showcased his qualities by pairing 20 points with 9 assists, and now he will confront league leading scorer [Carsen Edwards](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/carsen-edwards/011987/) (20.6 points per game). There will also be an exciting matchup between two big men who can stretch the floor, Bayern’s [Devin Booker](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/devin-booker/007056/) (20 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 steals at Fenerbahce on Tuesday) and ALBA sensation [Trevion Williams](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/trevion-williams-/012604/), who posted 23 points and 11 boards in the win over Milan.

Round 10 Head-to-Head: Booker vs. Williams

### Baskonia Vitoria-Gasteiz vs. AS Monaco (20:30 CET)

Two of Tuesday’s losing teams will look to get back into winning ways as Baskonia (4-5) hosts Monaco (5-4). Home team sharpshooter [Markus Howard](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/markus-howard/011948/) will be particularly motivated following his scoreless performance in the Round 9 loss to Efes, and his presence will sharpen the need of Monaco to improve defensively after allowing 98 points in its defeat against Zvezda. That loss came despite backcourt stars [Mike James](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/mike-james/005985/) and [Elie Okobo](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/elie-okobo/011212/) showing their qualities by pouring in 20 points apiece, but Monaco will also need the likes of big men [Georgios Papagiannis](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/georgios-papagiannis/005844/) and [Donatas Motiejunas](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/donatas-motiejunas/lcz/) to improve its interior defense against the athletic threat of former player [Chima Moneke](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/chima-moneke/012201/), who scored 22 points on 8-of-10 two-point shooting in Baskonia’s first game of the week.

### Real Madrid vs. Anadolu Efes Istanbul (20:45 CET)

Two ambitious teams aiming to complete a perfect week go head-to-head as Real (4-5) welcomes Efes (5-4) for a repeat of last season’s incredible quadruple-overtime marathon. Efes earned its Round 9 victory at Baskonia largely thanks to an excellent team defense, which must now attempt to contain the playmaking abilities of [Facu Campazzo](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/facundo-campazzo/005928/). The Argentine – who ranks second in the league for assists – dished 9 helpers to orchestrate Real’s victory over Virtus on Tuesday, which also featured 17 points on 5-of-10 three-point shooting from the increasingly important [Xavier Rathan-Mayes](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/xavier-rathan-mayes/013378/). It’s a big night for Efes center [Vincent Poirier](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/vincent-poirier/004887/), who had 11 points, 7 rebounds and 3 blocks in Tuesday’s win at Baskonia to perfectly prepare him for a bone-crunching heavyweight battle with his former partner in the paint, [Walter Tavares](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/walter-tavares/005791/).

Round 10 Head-to-Head: Tavares vs. Poirier

## Friday, November 15

### Zalgiris Kaunas vs. Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul (19:00 CET)

Get ready for an intense battle in Kaunas as Zalgiris (6-3) welcomes co-leader Fenerbahce (7-2). The Turkish team has strung together a four-game winning run thanks to the stellar form of [Nigel Hayes-Davis](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/nigel-hayes-davis/008962/), who has averaged 23.5 points during that stretch, and limiting the influence of the former Zalgiris forward will clearly be an emphasis for home team coach Andrea Trinchieri. The Lithuanian team has lost two straight after falling at Paris on Wednesday night partly due to a terrible night of three-point shooting, and [Sylvain Francisco](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/sylvain-francisco/007975/) will look to return to form after going 0-of-8 from beyond the arc in the French capital. Arnas Butkevicius had a strong game with 12 points and 9 rebounds, and Zalgiris will look to use him to control the game in the paint and slow Fenerbahce down.

Round 10 Head-to-Head: Brazdeikis vs. Hayes-Davis

### Virtus Segafredo Bologna vs. Panathinaikos AKTOR Athens (20:30 CET)

Panathinaikos (6-3) will target a second win of the week as it travels to lowly Virtus (2-7), which is now three wins adrift of the top ten. It was a case of better late than never for the Greens on Tuesday, with 21 points from [Kendrick Nunn](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/kendrick-nunn/012774/) – one of the many potent backcourt weapons at coach Ergin Ataman’s disposal – propelling a second-half comeback against Maccabi, but the reigning champ will look for better long-range shooting after making just 6 triples in that game. After losing at Real Madrid on Tuesday despite [Isaia Cordinier](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/isaia-cordinier/009549/) (18 points, 7 assists) and [Toko Shengelia](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/tornike-shengelia/001133/) (20 points, 5 rebounds) again leading from the front, Virtus needs to limit its opponent’s opportunities by better protecting its backboard, so far allowing 12.9 offensive rebounds per game (second most in the league).

### Partizan Mozzart Bet Belgrade vs. EA7 Emporio Armani Milan (20:30 CET)

Two of the most decorated coaches in European basketball history are looking for an upturn in fortunes as Zeljko Obradovic’s struggling Partizan (2-7) hosts Ettore Messina’s Milan (3-6). Both teams are coming off losses, with Partizan falling against Barca on Wednesday despite backcourt leadership from [Carlik Jones](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/carlik-jones/013369/), who is taking the reins of the team with 12 points and 4.4 assists per night. Milan’s quest for balance and consistency continues after squandering a double-digit lead to lose in Round 9 at ALBA despite 28 points and 10 boards from former EuroLeague MVP [Nikola Mirotic](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/nikola-mirotic/000796/), and Messina will look for more control after his team coughed up 17 turnovers in that game – with 9 coming from backcourt duo [Neno Dimitrijevic](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/neno-dimitrijevic/006085/) and [Nico Mannion](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/niccolo-mannion/011064/).

### FC Barcelona vs. Paris Basketball (20:30 CET)

Two of the league's hottest teams go head-to-head in a first-ever meeting between Barcelona (7-2) and Paris (6-3). Wednesday's triumph at Partizan was a seventh in eight games for Barca, while the same night saw Paris overcome Zalgiris for a fifth straight success. The game features an exciting backcourt showdown between the silky scoring skills of [Kevin Punter](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/kevin-punter/009862/) (18.1 ppg.) and the unstoppable speed of [TJ Shorts](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/tj-shorts/012608/) (17 ppg., 7.3 apg.). Paris has also grabbed more offensive rebounds than any other team (12.9 per game), so the French team’s leading rebounder [Mikael Jantunen](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/mikael-jantunen/012613/) (5.9 per game) will look to give Shorts and co. extra chances to score by fighting hard with Barca veteran [Jan Vesely](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/jan-vesely/000925/) and the dynamic [Chimezie Metu](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/chimezie-metu/013379/), who has averaged 6.7 rebounds over the past three games.

Paris Basketball is in just its first year in the EuroLeague, but it shows a grit and determination often associated with teams with many years of experience under their belt.

Paris is already looking like a EuroLeague mainstay

Winning a game in the highly competitive Turkish Airlines EuroLeague is anything but an easy task.

Securing victories in as many as six tight affairs by beating each of the opponents by single digits is another thing altogether, let alone as the competition’s debutant team. That shows some strong character from both the players and coaching staff, and that’s precisely what [Paris Basketball](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/teams/paris-basketball/prs/) has demonstrated this term.

A slow start with two straight defeats was followed by Paris’s first-ever EuroLeague victory in Round 3, which came against the reigning champion in Panathinaikos AKTOR Athens, no less. If coach Tiago Splitter’s side sent a message with that result, the way that his men bounced back from a narrow 109-107 defeat at FC Bayern Munich has been remarkable, with Paris notching five straight victories to improve to a 6-3 record, joint second best in the EuroLeague.

“The guys are really buying in and playing hard every night,” Coach Splitter told EuroLeague TV after [Wednesday night’s 83-77 victory over Zalgiris Kaunas](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/news/paris-beats-zalgiris-83-77-for-fifth-straight-win/). “This is just a display of their discipline, how hard they play and how togetherness is a big value in the team.”

After narrowly outscoring Zalgiris 17-16 in the first quarter, Paris pushed to pull away in the second. Yet, Zalgiris, which came into the game ranking fifth in offensive rebounds with 12.4 per game, picked up as many as 9 boards that offered the guests scores off second-chance opportunities. Paris still managed to take a 40-36 lead into the second half, when the hosts protected the boards and outrebounded Zalgiris 21-14 to control the rhythm of the game.

“In the second quarter we could see that a lot of the reason why they were staying in the game was the second-chance opportunities,” [Kevarrius Hayes](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/kevarrius-hayes/010390/), who paired his 10 points with a season-high 9 rebounds against his former team, admitted. “We cut that down, we were able to secure the rebounds and get out in open court and it really worked out in our favor.”

Having recorded six victories with an average difference of just over 5 points, Paris has shown that it has what it takes to look in the eye of any opponent in the competition. The 2023-24 BKT EuroCup winner now has a tough assignment to keep this streak going as on Friday it is off to Spain, where it will face the current EuroLeague co-leader in FC Barcelona (7-2).

It is the French club's first year in the competition, but you wouldn't think it based on their performances

Paris Basketball v Zalgiris Kaunas (2024-11-13T19:30:00.000Z)

Paris Basketball continued its momentum in the EuroLeague by defeating Zalgiris Kaunas 83-77 in Round 9 to notch its fifth win in a row.

Paris beats Zalgiris, 83-77, for fifth straight win

Paris Basketball extended its winning streak to five games by defeating Zalgiris 83-77 at Adidas Arena in Round 9. In a tight affair, Paris narrowly outscored Zalgiris in each of the first three quarters and extended its lead to double digits in the fourth to see the game off. This win allows the French side to improve to 6-3, with Zalgiris now on the same record. 

TJ Shorts led all scorers with 21 points and Collin Malcolm had 17, while Nadir Hifi and Kevarrius Hayes netted 10 apiece. For the visitors, Ignas Brazdeikis recorded 15 points, Arnas Butkevicius paired his 12 points with 9 rebounds, and Laurynas Birutis added 11 points.

Shorts opened the scoring with a trademark mid-range jumper before setting up Hayes, who netted inside for an early four-point lead. Matt Mitchell and Tyson Ward traded buckets before Lonnie Walker’s first EuroLeague points brought Zalgiris within 6-5. A triple from Hifi was followed by a jumper from Walker, but Malcolm nailed one of his own to give Paris an 11-7 cushion. Yet, Birutis took over and netted 7 points to put Zalgiris ahead, 13-14. Then, Malcolm sank a corner triple before Dovydas Giedraitis beat the first-quarter buzzer with a layup to make it 17-16.

Hayes scored inside, but Brazdeikis completed a three-point play off the bench for a 20-21 lead. Then, Shorts drove all the way to the basket and Malcolm netted another triple for a 25-21 cushion. Brazdeikis and Hifi exchanged baskets before the latter made a couple of free throws, opening a 29-23 margin. Bandja Sy drilled a three-pointer, but four points from Butkevicius and three free throws from Sylvain Francisco brought Zalgiris within 32-30. Then, Butkevicius and Shorts traded baskets before the latter nailed an open triple to restore a 37-33 lead. Deividas Sirvydis finally knocked down a triple after 13 unsuccessful attempts from seven different Zalgiris players, but Shorts responded with a three-point play for a 40-36 cushion at halftime.

Walker started off the third quarter with a corner triple before Birutis scored twice inside to put Zalgiris back in front, 43-45. The game suddenly turned into a back-and-forth affair, with Brazdeikis netting a triple and Malcolm completing a three-point play to give Paris a 52-51 lead. Butkevicius slammed home a dunk off the baseline, drew a foul and nailed a free throw, but Shorts and Hifi sank back-to-back triples in transition for a 58-54 lead. Shorts extended Paris’s run to 10 points with a floater, however a put-back bucket from Ulanovas trimmed the deficit to 62-56 heading into the final quarter.

Hayes scored twice in the paint to give Paris a double-digit lead, 67-56, for the first time in the game. Zalgiris didn’t score a single fourth-quarter field goal until Ulanovas completed a three-point play with 6:27 remaining to cut the difference to 69-60. Mikael Jantunen and Mitchell traded baskets before a three-point play from Brazdeikis kept Zalgiris in touch, 73-65. Yet, Maodo Lo’s triple was followed by Leopold Cavaliere’s dunk to restore a 78-65 lead. Zalgiris responded with two straight dunks from Brazdeikis and Butkevicius, then Francisco netted three unanswered points to trim the deficit to 78-72 with 1:24 left on the clock. Yet, Jantunen sank a dagger from beyond the arc to end Zalgiris’s momentum and practically finished the game off by making it 81-72, despite the visitors' effort to bounce back with less than a minute remaining.

The French side now has the joint second-best record in the EuroLeague

With seven games in the books after Tuesday night, Round 9 of the 2024-25 EuroLeague season comes to a close with two games on Wednesday.

### [Partizan Mozzart Bet Belgrade 79-87 FC Barcelona](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/news/barcelona-back-in-first-place-after-downing-partizan-79-87/)

Barcelona held off a spirited fightback from Partizan to win 79-87 on the road, improving to 7-2 and returning to a share of first place, while the hosts dropped to 2-7 after five straight losses. Partizan led most of the first quarter, but Barca took over and roared into a seemingly dominant 40-63 lead midway through the third. The hosts gradually came back and it was 78-79 with 90 seconds remaining, but the visitors held on. Kevin Punter led the way against his former team with 18 points and Jabari Parker added 17 points with 7 rebounds, while Jan Vesely chipped in with 12. Carlik Jones paced Partizan with 17 points and Aleksej Pokusevski netted 12.
