After a defensive grind was edged by Monaco on Friday to make it a 2-2 series, Fenerbahce will look to recover its usual offensive fluidity as the series comes to a close in the principality.
Game Facts: Monaco vs. Fenerbahce
2023-24
3 Mins read
Game 4's lowest-scoring result of the entire playoffs, 62-65, was very unlike the high-scoring shootouts that had preceded it, with nobody scoring more than Marko Guduric's 14 points or Elie Okobo's 13. Head coaches Sasa Obradovic and Saras Jasikevicius could well introduce some new wrinkles in the hope of gaining an edge.
The series has been lacking a big performance from Monaco star Mike James, who had averaged just 11.2 compared to his season average of 17.9, shooting just 23.8% from three-point range. This would be the perfect time for James to recover his usual standards, while Fener star Nigel Hayes-Davis will also look to bounce back after being held to 10 points in each of the last three games and converting just 28.6% of his long-range shots in the series.
