In a highly entertaining duel, the two teams exchanged blows throughout the 45 minutes, with the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague leaders winning the thriller at Buesa Arena. The Reds opened the double-round week with a victory and improved their record to 15-7, with Baskonia dropping to 8-13.

McKissic took over in the second half with 5 straight points, but triples from Rogkavopoulos and Samanic allowed Baskonia to maintain a 25-24 lead. A coast-to-coast layup by McKissic was followed by a dunk from Luwawu-Cabarrot in transition before a Fournier three put Olympiacos back in front, 30-31.

Paris Basketball won in the EuroLeague for the first time in over a month after beating Anadolu Efes 88-84 in Round 21.

Paris gets back on track with team-oriented win over Efes, 88-84

Paris Basketball secured its first victory in more than a month on Tuesday night, having beaten Anadolu Efes Istanbul 85-81 on the back of a solid team display at Adidas Arena in Round 21.

Five players got into double figures in scoring – TJ Shorts (17 points), Nadir Hifi (14), Collin Malcolm (12), Yakuba Ouattara (10), and Mickael Jantunen (10) – as Paris moved to a 12-8 record and remained in the top six of the standings. This triumph ended Paris’s five-game losing streak. 

Efes, meanwhile, had Elijah Bryant net a game-high 21 points, Vincent Poirier record a 14-point, 11-rebound double-double, Shane Larkin net 13 points, and Darius Thompson add 12 points, but it was not enough. Luca Banchi is now 0-2 as Efes head coach, with the team 10-11 overall and in the midst of a four-game losing skid.

The hosts got off to a great start after racing out to a 7-0 lead thanks to mid-range jumpers by Tyson Ward and Shorts sandwiching a Malcolm three. Bryant got Efes off the mark just over 3 minutes into the contest with a fast-break dunk, but despite Poirier pulling the visitors within 8-6 after four straight points from the line, Paris reeled off another 7-0 run to go 15-6 ahead. Thanks to Rodrigue Beaubois’s three inside the last 25 seconds, the Paris lead was cut to 19-13 after 10 minutes.

Shorts had 4 points in the first quarter, but he had a three and a reverse layup inside the opening 80 seconds of the second period to give Paris a comfortable advantage at 24-15. Much was discussed about the Shorts versus Larkin matchup beforehand, and the latter came up with five points, then Poirier split free throws to make it a five-point difference at 26-21. It looked like Paris was going to maintain a healthy lead when Hifi’s three made it 31-23, but Poirier and Bryant stood up in particular. After a Lo three, which he faked and sent Poirier into the Paris bench, set a 37-30 score, the Efes center responded by scoring five points in a row before turning provider for Rolands Smits, who converted a layup to tie the game at 37-37. Bryant’s mid-range jumper over Shorts gave Efes its first lead on the night, 37-39, and that was the difference at the break.

Bryant hit a pair of free throws to start the second half, 37-41, but Ward and Malcolm combined to restore Paris’s lead, 42-41. Back-to-back threes by Thompson saw the lead change hands again at 42-47. Rather than Shorts, it was the likes of Lo and Ouattara who provided a boost to Paris, which wrestled its way back into the contest. Hifi’s three with 4:18 remaining tied it at 49-49, then Ouattara’s three allowed the hosts to go 52-49 ahead. There was little to separate the two in the final minutes of the third frame, with Dan Oturu scoring a layup to ensure it was 59-59 entering the fourth period.

The battle continued in the fourth, with Jordan Nwora blocking Shorts and scoring a three as Efes went 63-65 ahead, but Paris scored six points in a hurry to go 69-65 ahead. Following a Nwora tip-in, the momentum really started to swing Paris’s way after Jantunen hit his first three in eight games, having missed 24 straight attempts, to give his team a 72-67 edge. Bryant, in particular, refused to give up the fight and was instrumental in Efes coming back to tie it at 76-76 having scored 7 points and dished 1 assist in a 4-9 run. The game could have gone either way in the final minutes, but when Jantunen stepped up with another three to make it 85-78 with 43 seconds left, it seemed it was Paris’s night. Free throws took center stage the rest of the way, but Shorts and Kevarrius Hayes went a combined 3 for 4 to ensure Paris got the monkey off its back and returned to winning ways with an 88-84 triumph.

Six players scored 9 points or more for the hosts, who ended a run of five straight losses and compounded the visitors to their fourth defeat in a row

EA7 Emporio Armani Milan continued with its winning ways, picking up its third straight win, a no-doubt-about-it decision against last-place ALBA Berlin on Tuesday. Milan improved to 12-9, while ALBA dropped to 3-18 record with its eighth straight loss.

Milan pulled away with a 21-3 run to end the third quarter, establishing a 25-point lead and never looking back. Nikola Mirotic led five Milan scorers in double digits with 21 points.

For ALBA, Yanni Wetzell collected 13 points and 7 rebounds and David McCormack had 11 points.

McCormack scored ALBA’s first two baskets and Matt Thomas had a corner triple to help open a 6-9 lead. But a triple from Niccolo Mannion put the hosts in front, only for Thomas to hit another three and tie it at 13-13. Freddie Gillespie had a three-point play and LeDay made a three-pointer for the hosts, but ALBA stayed close with a pair of baskets from Ziga Samar, making it 23-19 after 10 minutes.

Will McDowell-White had a layup and a triple to get within 29-26, but layups from Brooks and Giampaolo Ricci and a three from Mirotic opened a 36-28 advantage. Gabriele Procida made an alley-oop dunk and a coast-to-coast layup, but Mirotic’s three-point play helped extend it to 41-32. However, Wetzell and Tim Schneider scored from close range and Procida had a steal and a runaway dunk to get within 47-43 at halftime.

Shields scored a pair of buckets before Mirotic nailed a tough corner jumper and Stefano Tonut made a layup for a 57-45 lead. McCormack converted a three-point play, but Shields strung together 8 points, including back-to-back triples, before a three-pointer from LeDay set a 68-50 margin. Thomas made a layup that snapped an 11-2 run, but a triple apiece from LeDay and Brooks helped the hosts to a 78-53 margin going into the fourth quarter.

Procida, Samar and Wetzel opened the fourth quarter with a 0-6 run, but Mirotic hit 3 three-pointers, including two from way downtown that made it to 90-63 as Milan cruised to a victory.

Vintage Partizan crushes ASVEL, 62-93

Partizan Mozzart Bet Belgrade issued a statement of intent with an overwhelming 62-93 win at LDLC ASVEL Villeurbanne in the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague, which improved the Serbian team’s regular season record to 10-11 while the hosts dropped to 9-12.

Big man Tyrique Jones led a ferocious Partizan pack with 22 points in as many minutes on the court, shooting 9 of 10 from the floor as his only miss came by way of fumbling an alley-oop.

Iffe Lundberg produced his most impressive performance of the season to register 18 points, as Sterling Brown chipped in with 16 and Brandon Davies added 11. At the other end, Melvin Ajinca was the only home player in double digits with 14 points.

Partizan hit top gear from the start as the visiting team sank 6 of 7 shots from deep in the first quarter, with Brown nailing 11 points to propel the Serbian side into a 20-31 lead at the end of the opening period. Partizan also took much better care of the ball as it dished out 9 assists and committed just 1 turnover, while the home team had a mere 3 assists while committing 4 turnovers.

ASVEL was unable to take advantage of Partizan’s offensive woes in the second quarter as the visitors ramped up their defense and eventually held on to their advantage, although the French team at one point slashed the deficit to 31-35.

Lundberg was instrumental in keeping Partizan in the driving seat as he sank a pair of clutch threes late in the first half, enabling his team to take a 34-45 advantage into the locker room at the interval to delight a large and vociferous bad of traveling Serbian fans.

Any hopes of a comeback ASVEL might have had were vanquished in the third quarter as Partizan fired on all cylinders at both ends and won the period 9-29, with Davies catching fire to sink all his 11 points down the stretch. Defensively, Partizan’s EuroLeague debutant Arijan Lakic totally stifled ASVEL’s top performer Theo Maledon, who was confined to just 7 points on 0-of-6 shooting from the floor.

Partizan romped away to 45-80 early in the fourth and kept its foot on the gas all the way, with Tyrique Jones putting the icing on the cake with some spectacular dunks while many of the home supporters left the gym in a hurry well before the final buzzer.

The visitors produced a flawless performance for their biggest win of the season
