Paris Basketball boosted its hopes of finishing in the top four of Group B after a sublime performance, led by the unstoppable Juhann Begarin, saw it brush aside Buducnost VOLI Podgorica 103-87 to improve its record to 9-5 with four rounds remaining in the regular season. The result means that Paris, which had already qualified for the playoffs with games to spare, swept Buducnost after winning the reverse fixture 77-74 and is now in a good position to gain home-court advantage in the first knockout stage of the EuroCup. Buducnost, which dropped to 8-6, is also assured of reaching the playoffs but has left itself work to do if the Montenegrin side is to finish in the group’s top half.

Begarin lit up the contest with 22 points and an array of spectacular slam-dunks, with six of his teammates also scoring in double figures. Aamir Simms had 15 points, Ismael Kamagate and Tyrone Wallace posted 13 each, Jeremy Evans and Denis Gauthier scored 11 apiece and Amar Gegic netted 10. Kamagate also collected 13 rebounds. Erick Green paced Buducnost with 26 points, of which he sank 21 in the first half, JJ O’Brien added 14, Trae Bell-Haynes 13, Petar Popovic netted 12 and Marko Jagodic-Kuridza had 11.
The home team raced into a 9-2 lead and never looked back, with Begarin taking the game by the scruff of the neck offensively as he pierced through Buducnost’s defense almost at will. Kamagate also played a big part in the rampant start with his size and spring, with Buducnost struggling to find open shots or make any impact in the paint.
Green kept the visitors in touch single-handedly in the first half, having nailed his opening seven shots and all of them were contested. However, he had preciously little support from his teammates and although Buducnost was able to slash the deficit to 27-23 early in the second quarter, the visitors were lucky to be 54-42 down at halftime as Paris seemed to be two gears ahead in terms of pace and aggression.

Paris Basketball-Hapoel IBI Tel Aviv | Round 5 Highlights | 2025-26 EuroLeague
Green ran out of steam and space in the second half as he was closely guarded by his markers while Begarin carried on where he left off, with Paris soon opening up a 20-point lead (62-42) thanks to some impeccable teamwork. Begarin’s supporting cast stepped up and the home team’s advantage soared to 84-62 late in the third quarter, leaving Buducnost a mountain to climb.
The visitors found some energy in the fourth quarter, cutting the gap to 95-81 with 3:41 left on the clock, but hard-working Paris was not about to spill its advantage and the hosts closed out the contest comfortably for an impressive victory.
