It should be a high-scoring game with Paris boasting the best offense in the competition (98.2 points per game), while Cedevita has the next-to-worst defense (91.4 points allowed). The first meeting between the teams resulted in a comfortable Paris win, 77-93, as TJ Shorts led the way with 17 points and 7 assists. Jaka Blazic is in great form for Cedevita, scoring 24 and 28 points in the last two games.
Zoran Martic, Cedevita Olimpija head coach
"Paris has shown this season that they have an extremely strong team. Our rivals are deservedly at the top of the group. For us, Paris is a very demanding opponent. The departure of Karlo Matkovic will be shown mainly in the paint. We will try to leave the best possible impression and finish the European season as best as possible."
Shawn Jones, Cedevita Olimpija player
"We want to work mainly on ourselves and our game, but despite everything, each of us wants to end the season with a win. We will try to continue in the rhythm of the last match in Cacak and do our best to catch the winning rhythm."
