Magic Moment: Brown dishes the fantastic assist!
Paris’s offense continued to roll in the third quarter with Sebastian Herrera, Ward and Mikael Jantunen knocking down three-pointers for a 65-43 lead. Hapoel tried to get back into the game but could not come up with stops with Sy and Nadir Hifi draining triples. Hapoel seemed to have a faint glimmer of hope with three-pointers from Xavier Munford and John Holland to trim the deficit to 75-57. But it was 82-59 after 30 minutes.
Hapoel's charge is pushed aside
After a Herrera three-pointer to start the final quarter, Hapoel tried to at least make the result more respectable with a Braian Angola three-pointer and 6 points from Hoard. But Paris just continued to score - 5 points from Hifi - and led 97-70 with 5 minutes left and it was just Paris refusing to be stopped.
