This week’s action concludes with FC Barcelona seeking another home win to keep the series alive against AS Monaco.
Game Notes: Barcelona vs. Monaco
2024-25
3 Mins read
Joan Penarroya’s team delivered a determined performance on Wednesday to seal a high-scoring victory, with the key role played by backup big man Willy Hernangomez as he recorded 19 points and 10 rebounds.
With Jan Vesely’s status uncertain, that kind of presence from Hernangomez will again be crucial for the Blaugrana, while visiting coach Vassilis Spanoulis will hope that his own centers Mam Jaiteh and Daniel Theis will offer better protection of their backboard after allowing Barca to claim 14 crucial offensive rebounds in Game 3.
Another statistic to concern Spanoulis is the fact that his team failed to snare a single steal in Game 3, and visiting backcourt stars Mike James and Elie Okobo will look to recover their usual defensive intensity to complement their ever-present offensive threat.
Having scored 89 points in defeat on Tuesday (led by James with 20 points and Okobo with 19), Monaco will not particularly concerned by its offense, which has performed with fluidity and efficiency throughout the series.
Instead, the key to the game is likely whether the visitors can stop Barca’s key scorers Kevin Punter, Jabari Parker and Dario Brizuela – who all scored in double figures in Game 3 – from forcing a series decider next week.
