Channel: Euroleague Basketball

The Italian team has not won on the road all season and is on a three-game losing streak, but triumphed 84-76 when the teams met in October behind 20 points from [Jordan Ford](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/eurocup/players/jordan-ford/013270/). This could be a low-scoring game between two teams who struggle offensively, especially from long-range as they’re respectively ranked next-to-last and last in three-point conversion rate (28.8% vs. 28.2%). Trefl will try to control the game in the paint through big man [Geoffrey Groselle](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/eurocup/players/geoffrey-groselle/013296/), who had 11 points and 9 rebounds in last week’s loss to Ulm.

GAME NOTES

\- Trento defeated Trefl 84-78 in Round 2 in the first-ever meeting between the clubs.

\- Trento forward Antony Lamb recorded a season-high 7 assists in Round 2 against Sopot.

\- Trefl center Geoffrey Groselle and Trento forward Saliou Niang were teammates with Italian club Fortitudo Bologna during the 2021-22 season.

Trefl Sopot v Dolomiti Energia Trento (2024-12-10T18:00:00.000Z)

Paris Basketball has won 10 straight games to rise to the top of the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague standings and position themselves to accomplish a truly remarkable feat. 

Stats review: A dive into Paris's win streak and defense

Paris Basketball has won 10 straight games to rise to the top of the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague standings and position themselves to accomplish a truly remarkable feat. 

The EuroLeague has an interesting relationship with winning streaks, but the tipping point into *special* territory is 11 games. Sixteen teams in league history have won 11 or more games in a row with Real Madrid narrowly missing becoming the 17th with their run to start last year.  Only four of those teams went on their runs in the nine seasons since the EuroLeague transitioned to its modern format.  With parity continuing to rise in recent years, the windows of opportunity for a team to string together double-digit wins is extremely small.

At this point, it is a massive achievement to rattle off a run like Paris’s.  However, what it means in the long run remains pretty nebulous.  Only three teams to go on a winning streak or 11 or more games have gone on to lift the trophy at the end of the season and the last team to do both did so all the way back in the 2009-10 season.  Even when three teams achieved long winning streaks during the 2013-14 season, that group did not produce a champion.  Winning streaks have, in recent history in particular, guaranteed little postseason success, though we’ll never know if a dominant Anadolu Efes team or Real Madrid would have paid off their streaks during the abridged 2019-20 season.

Even if Paris still has as grueling a path forward as any of their predecessors, they deserve a massive amount of credit for continuing to find ways to win.  At this point, it takes some good bounces to keep a streak alive; Paris has won all three of its one-possession games after dropping their first two early in the year, but Tiago Splitter’s team has made real progress to set their current course.

A big chunk of that progress can be traced to one specific area: their suddenly stifling pick-and-roll defense. For reference, the average EuroLeague possession has been worth 1.01 points per possession this season - on par with the record highs from a few seasons ago.  The average possession created out of a pick-and-roll is worth 1.00 points per possession this year - unsurprisingly similar with just under 40% of all possessions originating in ball screens. Over the first four games of the season, Paris allowed 1.08 points per possession created out of a pick-and-roll, the equivalent of ranking 17th in the league at the moment.  Since then, they have allowed just 0.90 points per pick-and-roll possession, surging up the leaderboards to close in on Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul which has conceded a league-best 0.92 points per possession on the year overall. 

Nearly going from worst to first in a critical aspect of the game, there’s obviously more at work in the improvement than one single adjustment.  Not only has Paris been more disciplined on the ball, done a better job pushing ball handlers inside the arc, shown more of a sense of urgency in rotation, and better game plans for opposing roll men, but opposing offenses have also made only 34% of the catch-and-shoot threes they have created out of the two-man game against them over their 10 wins compared to 45% over their first four games.

It will be fascinating to see if Paris can sustain its newfound defensive prowess through the regular season.  While there is bound to be some regression to the mean in the second half as opposing teams learn from their initial matchups, this team’s ability to find a way through has been perhaps the biggest story of the season so far - made all the more impressive given they are facing the unforgiving gauntlet of the EuroLeague for the first time.

The EuroLeague newcomers are already in rare company with 10 straight wins

Hapoel Shlomo Tel Aviv announced on Monday morning that star guard Patrick Beverley will miss time with a small tear in his quadriceps muscle.

Patrick Beverley sidelined with quadriceps tear

[Hapoel Shlomo Tel Aviv](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/eurocup/teams/hapoel-shlomo-tel-aviv/roster/hta/?season=2024-25) announced on Monday morning that star guard [Patrick Beverley](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/eurocup/players/patrick-beverley/001927/) will miss time with a small tear in his quadriceps muscle. Beverley, 36, suffered the injury in the Tel Aviv derby against [Maccabi Playtika Tel Aviv](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/teams/maccabi-playtika-tel-aviv/roster/tel/?season=2024-25) in the Israel Basketball Super League. He was taken for an MRI after which the tear was diagnosed. Beverley will be reevaluated in two weeks.

The 2012 EuroCup MVP, Beverley returned to the competition over the summer after 12 season in the NBA. In 10 EuroCup games with Hapoel, Beverley has averaged 12.5 points, 4.8 rebounds, 5.3 assists and 1.7 steals for a PIR of 17.7. He ranks among the competition leaders in [assists](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/stats/expanded/?size=25&viewType=traditional&seasonCode=U2024&statisticMode=perGame&seasonMode=Single&sortDirection=descending&statistic=assistances) (fifth), [steals](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/stats/expanded/?size=25&viewType=traditional&seasonCode=U2024&statisticMode=perGame&seasonMode=Single&sortDirection=descending&statistic=steals) (tied for sixth), [defensive rebounds](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/stats/expanded/?size=25&viewType=traditional&seasonCode=U2024&statisticMode=perGame&seasonMode=Single&sortDirection=descending&statistic=defensiveRebounds) (4.2, ninth), [free throw accuracy](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/stats/expanded/?size=25&viewType=traditional&seasonCode=U2024&statisticMode=perGame&seasonMode=Single&sortDirection=descending&statistic=freeThrowsPercent) (95.5%, ninth) and [PIR](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/stats/expanded/?size=25&viewType=traditional&seasonCode=U2024&statisticMode=perGame&seasonMode=Single&sortDirection=descending&statistic=valuation) (10th).

The Hapoel Shlomo Tel Aviv star will be reevaluated in two weeks.

Stats review: Looking at which teams have dominated in first quarters

Valencia Basket notched the most important win of Round 10 when it defeated Hapoel Bank Yahav Jerusalem to get 2.5 games clear of them atop Group B.  To start the game, Valencia jumped out to a 33-26 first-quarter lead before building on their early success with a 26-12 second-quarter effort.

This is not the first time Valencia has blitzed a team out of the gate this season; it is averaging a league-best 1.23 points per possession in the first 5 minutes of games as it makes a concerted effort to test its opponents’ pick-and-roll coverages, move the ball around the perimeter, and look for shots along the three-point line in the opening minutes.  For reference, Bahcesehir Koleji Istanbul leads all teams scoring 1.06 points per possession overall on the year.  Valencia had nine players make three-pointers in their Round 10 win while still making  47% of 38 attempts from beyond the arc.

As good as Valencia has been in the opening minutes this season, it ranks only second in first-quarter efficiency.  No team in the EuroCup has played as well offensively before the first break as Buducnost VOLI Podgorica, which is averaging 1.18 points per possession in first quarters this season.  While some of that success early in games can be traced to some timely shooting from Fletcher Magee and Juwan Morgan, the key to those fast starts has been Rasheed Sulaimon.  Leading the EuroCup by a wide margin in first-quarter scoring, averaging a blistering 1.50 points per possession early in games, the 30-year-old guard has hit the ground running most nights this season burning defenses playing both on and off the ball.

On the other end of the spectrum, Dreamland Gran Canaria has held opposing teams to just 0.84 points per possession in first quarters this season; that’s lower than the worst mark a team has posted in a season since the EuroCup moved to its current format. Coach Jaka Lakovic’s team has been aggressive in guarding pick-and-rolls without paying the price from the perimeter as the way the team has set the tone defensively to start games has kept it in step with Bahcesehir atop Group A. 

Among other superlatives, U-BT Cluj-Napoca has the best first-quarter point differential ranking in the top four in both offensive and defensive efficiency with Valencia and Besiktas Fibabanka Istanbul not far behind above the +30 mark. 

Bahcesehir has been this season’s most effective offensive team in the second and fourth quarters while Wolves Twinsbet Vilnius narrowly beat out several teams to rank as the EuroCup’s top offense coming out of halftime.  One separator Valencia and Bahcesehir have found through the first part of the season has been their defense coming out of the half.  With both teams allowing less than 0.78 points per possession, they have consistently disrupted the rhythm of opposing offenses to start second halves.

Aris Midea Thessaloniki and Cosea JL Bourg-En-Bresse came out ahead of a cluster of teams to rank as the best second-and-fourth-quarter defensive units, respectively.

With a pretty clear hierarchy beginning to form in the standings, it is worth noting that there is no shortage of teams who excel consistently in certain moments or show more potential than their current placement suggests at some junctures.

The teams that excel consistently early in the games stand out in the standings, too

For anyone carrying any doubt of what Paris Basketball is capable of, any and all of those doubts should have perished with its impressive 90-96 win over Olympiacos Piraeus on Friday night.

Doubt no more, Paris and Shorts are playing (like) giants

It may not scientifically proven, but it certainly seem it's second nature to human beings to doubt things that are new. This is true in all aspects of life and basketball is no different.

So, while [Paris Basketball](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/teams/paris-basketball/prs/), a newcomer to the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague, has gone on an impressive winning streak in recent weeks, it's has not been all that surprising that there have been doubters who waited for the EuroLeague debutant from the French capital to hit a wall.

The winning streak reached nine games on Tuesday, but the place, for many, where Paris would get a long-time-coming really check was supposed to be its Round 14 road game against perennial powerhouse and title contender [Olympiacos Piraeus](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/teams/olympiacos-piraeus/oly/).

But for anyone carrying any doubt of what Paris is capable of, and how far it can go, any and all of those doubts should have perished with [Paris's impressive 90-96 triumph](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/news/paris-stuns-olympiacos-in-a-thriller-for-10th-straight-win/) in Greece.

<center><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="art" dir="ltr">☕️ ☀️ <a href="https://t.co/5gazVVXfSA">https://t.co/5gazVVXfSA</a></p>&mdash; Paris Basketball (@ParisBasketball) <a href="https://twitter.com/ParisBasketball/status/1865314463613583560?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">December 7, 2024</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script> 

In a fantastic game, which is what losing coach [Georgios Bartzokas](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/teams/olympiacos-piraeus/oly/bartzokas-georgios/) called it, Paris went into a sold out Peace and Friendship Stadium and proved beyond any doubt that this team is deservedly sitting atop the standings.

What's more, if this was a 'prove it' game for Paris, the team aced the test and even managed to do so twice during a 40-minute encounter.

### "Competing like there is no tomorrow"

First, Paris did so by totally outplaying the home favorites and building a 60-80 lead with 7 minutes to go. Then, it went on to prove it in an even tougher way when Olympiacos answered with an astonishing 22-0 run to take a lead with just over 3 minutes left to play.

With the home team charging in a memorable way, their backs suddenly against the wall and odds rapidly growing against them, Paris showed what this team is made of by stopping the bleeding when it was least expected. [Nadir Hifi](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/nadir-hifi/012640/), [TJ Shorts](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/tj-shorts/012608/) and then eventually [Maodo Lo](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/maodo-lo/007032/) each knocked down a three-pointer and Paris got out of the hole and escaped with a win, the team's 10th straight.

<center><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">86-86 the steal and the three…MAODO LO CALLED GAME ‼️ <a href="https://t.co/OjvoUBWPLC">pic.twitter.com/OjvoUBWPLC</a></p>&mdash; Paris Basketball (@ParisBasketball) <a href="https://twitter.com/ParisBasketball/status/1865354652557992191?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">December 7, 2024</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script> 

"I am proud of these guys, of everything", first-year coach [Tiago Splitter](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/teams/paris-basketball/prs/splitter-tiago/) said in the press conference following the big win. "No one gave us nothing in the beginning. Since I got to this group, I felt like they are different. This is a special group. Not just the players individually, but the group. It is really an awesome group to coach. I am lucky.

"It is special", Splitter continued, "The team is playing awesome. They are staying together, they are humble and they have no egos. They compete every night like there is no tomorrow and I am proud of them."

### "We approach every single game like it is our last"

When one watches Paris, the first thing that catches everyone's eye is the speed at which this team plays basketball.

"This is what we do. We play fast. Sometimes we shoot a little early, sometimes we shoot some crazy shots that people are not used to. But it is all part of the plan", Splitter explained.

So, it is not all that surprising that its style of play has helped Paris rank third in the EuroLeague in scoring with 86.5 points per game, second in average three-point shots attempted (29.8 3FGA) and fourth in three-pointers made (10.4 3FGM).

What is impressive, however, is that despite such a style, Paris has committed only 10.9 turnovers per game. Meanwhile, the Paris defense has forced 13.1 turnovers and held its opposition to just 31.0% three-point shooting; both marks are the third-lowest in the league.

"We approach every single game like it is our last", swingman [Tyson Ward](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/tyson-ward/012610/) said to EuroLeague TV after the win in Piraeus. "I think you can tell that by the way we play."

The leader of this pack is Shorts, the recently crowned [November MVP](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/news/paris-star-tj-shorts-selected-as-mvp-for-november/). Standing at only 1.75 meters, Shorts ranks third in average index rating (22.4), third in scoring (18.6 ppg.) and third in assists (7.9 apg.).

"He is a giant. Forget about his height, he is a giant. He's the leader of this team, he get's everybody going and he is not afraid. A helluva player," Splitter gushed of his point guard.

Ward did not hold back in his praise, either.

"He is easy, he makes our lives easier," Ward said. "What he does is truly gifted. He brings it every single night. It is a testament to his work and his confidence in himself. And he believes in us as well. When you have somebody like that who leads your team and does not waver in certain situations, makes it a lot easier on you."

### 'If we look ahead, we are gonna be fools'

Sitting alone atop of the standings, sporting a 10-game winning streak, and after a victory like this one, Paris has certainly moved into the title contender conversation, a rare feat for a EuroLeague debutant.

"From the beginning everybody was asking us what was our goals. I am going to keep saying the same thing. We got one game in front of us, if we look ahead, we are gonna be fools", Splitter said.

In addition, Splitter is aware that keeping up the style of play is already becoming a challenge:

"It's harder. Everybody is figuring it out, the way we play it is not a surprise anymore", he admitted. "But I am still pushing every day in practice."

What the EuroLeague certainly does not allow is for a team to sit and enjoy its past success, because the next game is always just a few days away. And in the case of Paris, it's another road test, and this time an all-French derby against LDLC ASVEL Villeurbanne in this week's Rivalry Series game.

For anyone carrying any doubt of what Paris is capable of, any and all of those doubts should have perished with its impressive 90-96 win over Olympiacos.

Another double-round week is in the books. Check out our selection of social media posts from around the EuroLeague.

Maccabi Playtika Tel Aviv will have to make do without the services of center Jasiel Rivero for the next four-to-six weeks after he suffered a torn hamstring, the club announced Sunday. 

Maccabi loses Jasiel Rivero again to torn hamstring

Maccabi Playtika Tel Aviv will have to make do without the services of center [Jasiel Rivero](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/jasiel-rivero/011214/) for the next four-to-six weeks after he suffered a torn hamstring, the club announced Sunday. Rivero, 31, missed three games earlier this season with a partially torn hamstring.

The native of Cuba has averaged 10.6 points and 5.1 rebounds for a PIR of 14.6 in 11 games for Maccabi this season, his second with the club and third in the EuroLeague. His PIR is sixth in the league among centers.

As Fenerbahce Beko secured an impressive road win at Real Madrid in Round 14's Rivalry Series game, Nigel Hayes-Davis scored a season-high 33 points to get his team back on track after back-to-back losses.

Nigel Hayes-Davis drew inspiration from Kobe Bryant to down Real Madrid

Towards the end of the first quarter of [Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/teams/fenerbahce-beko-istanbul/ulk/)’s Rivalries Series trip to [Real Madrid](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/teams/real-madrid/mad/) on Thursday night, it looked as though the Turkish team was heading for its second loss of the week in Spain.

A three-point strike from [Sergio Llull](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/sergio-llull/tgb/) had given the Spanish team a double-digit lead, 20-10, with Fenerbahce having scored just four baskets in the opening nine minutes. After suffering a dispiriting [88-76 loss at Baskonia Vitoria-Gasteiz](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/news/baskonia-beats-fenerbahce-88-76-for-second-straight-win/) two days earlier, Saras Jasikevicius’s players might have been forgiven for wishing the time away for their flight back to Turkiye.

But the mentality of this team does not allow them to simply roll over and accept a third consecutive defeat, and Fenerbahce found a way to fight back to claim a valuable and ultimately comfortable [70-82 victory](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/news/fenerbahce-blasts-past-real-70-82/).

The catalyst, inevitably, was [Nigel Hayes-Davis](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/nigel-hayes-davis/008962/), who was a constant threat throughout the game. The forward started off by scoring his team’s first three field goals of the night at a time when no other visiting player could make a basket, later netted a three-pointer to give his team its first lead (20-23), then struck another triple for Fenerbahce’s first double-digit margin (41-52) and finished off by sinking his sixth threeball on the final buzzer for a total of 33 points – more than three times the amount scored by any other visiting player.

After the game, Hayes-Davis revealed that he found unlikely inspiration to bounce back from quiet games in losses against EA7 Emporio Armani Milan and Baskonia Vitoria-Gasteiz, when he respectively scored just 6 and 11 points.

"I just watched a video," he told EuroLeague TV. "Kobe \[Bryant\] was giving an interview and they asked him, 'It looks like you’ve hit a wall.' He was like, 'I don’t think so, but if I did, then I’ll just run though the wall.'

"I watched that right before I walked on the court, so that’s the mentality I went in there with. Being aggressive, because I learned a valuable lesson: I tried to let the game come to me against Milan and [Niko \[Mirotic\]](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/nikola-mirotic/000796/) embarrassed me, and then I tried to do the same thing in Baskonia and we got embarrassed as a team. So I wanted to show today that I learned from those lessons."

That intent to play with more aggression was replicated throughout the Fenerbahce team, which had faced criticism from Coach Jasikevicius following the loss at Baskonia two days earlier.

"You really shouldn’t have to tell us \[to play harder\]," insisted Hayes-Davis. "We make great money to play a little bit harder, give a little bit more. It’s more of an effort thing. Once we play with great effort, great intensity, we put ourselves in the game.

"It’s up to us to try to go out there and execute. If the ball goes in, great. But if not, we can rely on rebounding and hustle plays that don’t require talent, just effort."

Jasikevicius echoed that sentiment, admitting that he was very happy with the effort of his players against Real: "This is how we have to win right now. We’ve got to take down our turnover numbers, and we’ve got to fight, especially rebounds. \[We were\] plus eight in these departments; eight possessions more.

"I thought our point guard play was extremely solid, we were going with the ball the majority of the time wherever we wanted, we were fighting, and this is the only thing that we can ask for at this point. Super-solid. We kept our heads in the game, we played exactly what we wanted. Not exactly brilliant, but it’s not easy to be brilliant against Madrid."

'Brilliant' was the perfect word for Nigel Hayes-Davis, and everyone else supported his efforts by doing more than enough to get Fenerbahce back into winning ways.

Paris Basketball improved its winning streak to 10 in a row by beating Olympiacos BC on the road in a thrilling encounter, which showed why Tiago Splitter's side are the team to beat in the EuroLeague at present.

Paris survived in Piraeus to make its biggest statement yet

[Paris Basketball](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/teams/paris-basketball/prs/) keeps making statements in its debut Turkish Airlines EuroLeague season. On Friday night, Paris went into Peace and Friendship Stadium and [knocked down the mighty Olympiacos Piraeus 90-96](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/news/paris-stuns-olympiacos-in-a-thriller-for-10th-straight-win/) in a fantastic game that, in the fourth quarter, turned into a thrill ride.

It was a game where something had to give, either Olympiacos's 6-0 home record or the nine-game winning streak that Paris carried into the game. When all was said and done, it was Paris that extended its winning streak to 10 games.

"This is another huge win," Paris star guard [TJ Shorts](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/tj-shorts/012608/) said on EuroLeague TV after the game. "To play in an environment like this, the fans that they have, the roster that they have, it is a huge win. Everybody stepped up, big play after big play."

Paris were in cruise control when it extended its lead to 60-80 thanks to a 0-7 run to open the fourth quarter. Olympiacos was without a basket for the opening 3 minutes of the final stanza, and Paris looked to be well on its way to a blowout win on the Reds' court.

However, the proud hosts, carried by a sold-out crowd, needed less than 4 minutes to put together a 22-0 run behind aggressive defense that produced 7 steals and had Olympiacos getting easy fast-break layups one after another.

Suddenly, with 3:11 left in the game, Olympiacos had its first lead, 82-80.

No matter the opponent, let alone a newcomer in the competition, a team on the receiving end of an onslaught like that is not expected to get back out of its slump on one of the toughest floors in all of Europe. But Paris did just that.

"We knew who we were playing against at their home, with their fans pushing," said Paris head coach Tiago Splitter. "Even though we got 20 points up, they got back in the game \[by\] playing very aggressive. We could not get out shots up, turning over the ball."

Thankfully for Paris, there is that famous 'but' in Splitter's explanation.

"But, we managed to finish the game. [Maodo Lo](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/maodo-lo/007032/) at the end of the game was huge for us, TJ as always being our captain leading us and hit a huge three at the end. Defensively, everyone was doing a great effort."

[Nadir Hifi](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/nadir-hifi/012640/) hit a near-impossible triple to snap that 22-0 run and restore Paris's lead, then Shorts drained his only triple of the game. Olympiacos still managed to tie it and then had a possession to take another lead in the final minute, but Paris made a defensive stand that led to Lo's transition triple with 20.5 seconds to go, making it 86-89. And Paris went on to protect its lead.

"For three or four minutes we struggled, but I am proud how we finished the game," Splitter said. "They were very aggressive with TJ and then I brought another guard. And Maodo, he is and experienced guy, he took the shots. And TJ took the shots when he was not pressured as much in those minutes. I am proud of these guys."

"It goes to a testament to a resilience of our locker room," added [Tyson Ward](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/tyson-ward/012610/), the scorer of 14 points, about those final minutes. "Nobody gave up, nobody doubted the fact that we still have a chance to win this game. A lot of people could be in that situation, and it could go the other way."

The way Paris found a way to get another win when it got so tough at the end is yet more proof this team deserves to be sitting atop the EuroLeague standings. And the side from the French capital earned some unprompted praise from Olympiacos head coach Georgios Bartzokas.

"It was a fantastic game that showed why Paris is first in the standings and has 10 wins in a row," Bartzokas said. "They play with an amazing speed, shooting the ball really well, defending really hard, playing physical, and they deserve to be in the first place."

Considering where and when this victory took place, and how it happened, with just over two months full of statement wins, this is arguably the biggest statement Paris has made of them all.

KK Crvena zvezda came to the fore late to beat Virtus Bologna in Round 14, with Isaiah Canaan shining on the offensive end.

Isaiah Canaan's late offensive explosion revitalized Crvena Zvezda in Bologna

Things didn’t look very good for [Crvena Zvezda Meridianbet Belgrade](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/teams/crvena-zvezda-meridianbet-belgrade/red/) when it trailed 75-65 against Virtus Segafredo Bologna in Italy with just 6:38 minutes to play in the fourth quarter. Despite having enjoyed short advantages for the most part of the game, the Serbian side had lost control of the game and the home team seemed poised to end its five-game losing skid.

"You have to play on a high level, you cannot have empty minutes, like we had in a third quarter when we allowed Virtus to go up by 10," recognized Zvezda big man [Luka Mitrovic](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/luka-mitrovic/002553/), who finished with 21 points and 6 rebounds. "But the good thing is that we didn't lose our head in those moments."

The visitors managed to regroup after a timeout, with Mitrovic being an active part of a play that allowed Zvezda to shift momentum and start its rally. He took advantage of a pass from [Yago dos Santos](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/yago-dos-santos/012044/) to score and get a foul. Even though he couldn’t convert the free throw, [Isaiah Canaan](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/isaiah-canaan/010612/) grabbed the offensive rebound and enabled Dos Santos to make another three-point play that brought the Serbian outfit back into the game.

"It was a big rebound, you know, just to give us another chance and that's the area we got to continue to improve, getting rebounds," stated Canaan right after the game. "We tried to do a better job of that tonight. We got the ones that mattered, and we made the shots that mattered."

Many of those shots that mattered for Zvezda came from the hands of Canaan, who finished with 26 points and was the game’s top scorer. He delivered only in the second and the fourth periods, scoring 11 in the second and 15 in the final frame.

He did contribute on offense when the game was on the line, bringing 5 points right after the 5-point play, then he tied it at 80-80 from behind the arc before later feeding [Filip Petrusev](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/filip-petrusev/011194/) in the corner for a three that gave his team the lead for good, 82-83.

"We didn't lose our head in those moments," reaffirmed Mitrovc. "We started to play better defense, and we found good solutions on offense. We found. Isaiah \[Canaan\] – he hit some big, big shots."

Olimpia Milano is one of the hottest teams in the EuroLeague after reeling off five straight wins, having recovered from a dismal 1-5 start.

Not even Coach Messina expected Milan’s terrific turnaround 

[EA7 Emporio Armani Milan](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/teams/ea7-emporio-armani-milan/mil/) has gone from being one of the worst teams in the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague to one of the hottest, yet not even head coach [Ettore Messina](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/teams/ea7-emporio-armani-milan/mil/messina-ettore/) envisaged this great change from his team, with the Italian side [beating LDLC ASVEL Villeurbanne](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/news/milan-beats-asvel-92-84-to-extend-winning-streak-to-five/) on Friday night for a fifth straight win.

Milan fought off ASVEL 92-84 at home to improve to 8-6 with seven victories in the last eight games following a dismal 1-5 start to the season.

"It would be stupid to say that anybody expected that," Messina admitted to EuroLeague TV after the game. "But I saw them coming to practice every day even in the darkest days very seriously. Usually when you work with togetherness and without pointing fingers and you take responsibility, good things happen."

Milan shot a poor 45.2% on two-pointers but still found a way to score at least 91 points for the sixth time in the last eight games. They made 40.0% percent on three-pointers to go with a magnificent 34 of 35 (97.1%) on free throws.

"It’s a very, very important win because we probably didn’t play our best game, but we managed to stay there with the exception of a couple of minutes," Messina added. "We kept playing, we were disciplined. We still scored 90 points even on a night when we didn’t score so brilliantly as the game before ([a 101-86 win over Crvena Zvezda Meridianbet Belgrade](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/news/milan-breezes-past-zvezda-101-86-for-fourth-straight-win/)). But this was a very important victory in the process of becoming a very good team."

Milan’s veteran guard [Fabien Causeur](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/players/fabien-causeur/001392/) insisted the players must keep their feet on the ground.

"We have turned around our season, but as I said the other day, we have to stay humble and keep working," said Causeur, who played a great all-around game with 9 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists and a career-high 6 steals.

"I am just trying to help our guys. But we are winning and it’s always more fun when you win."

The game was special for two other reasons for Causeur as the Frenchman’s 9 points saw him join the 2,500-point club. He also improved to a personal 9-0 all-time record against ASVEL.

"It was hard until the end. We knew they are a team that plays with confidence," noted the 37-year-old. "They really gave us problems until the end. Even when we went up by 11, they came back after some stupid turnovers. But, okay, we secured the win in the end and are happy."

Vassilis Spanoulis hails team Monaco’s character and defense after ALBA win

[AS Monaco](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/teams/as-monaco/mco/) head coach [Vassilis Spanoulis](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/teams/as-monaco/mco/spanoulis-vassilis/?season=E2024) was pleased with his team’s seamless display in a [100-80 home win over ALBA Berlin](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/news/smooth-monaco-makes-light-work-of-alba-100-80/), as the result restored the French side’s confidence after Wednesday’s tough [80-89 loss against the visiting Olympiacos Piraeus](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/news/olympiacos-sinks-monaco-80-89-handing-spanoulis-first-defeat/).

The hosts dominated throughout, having dished out a barrage of assists and prevailed in the battle of the boards while shooting 70.3% from inside, 26 of 37.

“It was a great reaction from our team to show character as all the guys responded the right way,” Spanoulis said in a courtside post-game interview. “We shared the ball well and had 24 assists, which is a great number in the EuroLeague. Today we played great defense and it’s important to work hard on both ends of the floor.”

A flowing team effort saw [Vitto Brown](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/players/vitto-brown/013365/) emerge as the player of the game, having paced Monaco with 17 points and 7 boards, while all 12 home players got on the scoresheet. Brown was visibly pleased after his telling input. 

“It feels great, first and foremost to get the win but also to make a contribution,” he said. “The tempo was high, I actually got tired out there but that was the goal.
