The French side put the icing on the cake of an impressive regular season with a masterclass performance.
Paris routs Cededvita, 119-66, to celebrate club record EuroCup win
Game Report
3 Mins read
Paris Basketball closed out the BKT EuroCup regular season with a 119-66 mauling of Cedevita Olimpija Ljubljana and sent an ominous warning to its rivals ahead of the playoffs.
It was the French team’s biggest win in the competition and tied for the second biggest overall in the EuroCup, bettered only by Joventut Badalona’s 116-53 rout of the Guildford Heat in the 2007-2008 season.
The gulf in class epitomized by the two sides finishing on inverse records - Paris 17-1 and Cedevita 1-17 - was everywhere to be seen in the cat-and-mouse contest as Paris hit the ground running and kept its foot on the gas from start to finish.

TJ Shorts: 'We're taking it game by game'
Tyson Ward and Nadir Hifi paced Paris with 20 points apiece. Sebastian Herrera scored 14 points, Mehdy Ngouama and Mikael Jantunen chipped in with 12 each and TJ Shorts paired 11 points with 12 assists to underline a flowing team effort that saw the home side blow away the Slovenian outfit in every department.
At the other end, Justin Cobbs led Cedevita with 18 points and veteran Jaka Blazic added 12 for the hapless visitors, who had hoped for a better display in their last game of what has been a hugely disappointing season in Europe.
Paris raced into an 8-0 lead inside the opening 90 seconds and that set the tone for the rest of the contest, with Cedevita only able to briefly slash the deficit to 15-12 after a timeout.
It was one-way traffic from there on, as Paris displayed its vast array of weapons to carve out a 62-34 advantage at halftime, having sank 10 shots from three-point range. The French side also racked up 18 assists in the first half while committing only 4 turnovers.
Blazic said at halftime that Cedevita had to restore its dignity after the long break but the second half only produced more one-way traffic, with the hosts extending their lead to 89-49 at the end of the third quarter.
The final score added insult to injury for Cedevita, as Paris rolled on relentlessly and the whole-hearted display will have boosted the team’s confidence ahead of the business end of the competition.
