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.

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.

"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.

Game Videos

"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.

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.

The club from the French capital is now riding a 10-game winning streak
