French civil war in the "astroballe" with Villeurbanne hosting Monaco.
He could not stand in Moscow and finally lost with difficulty to Ts.s.ka with 90-83. The Russian bear had become a "tight corset" for more than 30 'but in the last 10 minutes it could not stand it as Ts.s.ka had more options. Defensively he never found rhythm but in the attack with 4 double digits (Gist, Knight, Okombo and Jones) he managed to answer most of the time the opponents' baskets. Absent due to injury Howard, Webaniama and Lighty.
From an away victory over Bayern comes Monaco, which had James in great spirits as he loaded the German basket with 26 points. It is clear that Monaco with a good James is changing level. However, in general, the team played well and was firmly in front of the score with differences around 6-8 points. Very good on the three-pointer although it did not take many attempts but 70% (11/17) for an away game is a huge number. The only absentee is Westerman who is injured.
summarizing I'm waiting for a derby the game as was the previous 2 between them and will be judged in detail. I expect a great score as most games between them show us this while there is undoubtedly offensive talent.
The point I choose is ... Monaco (+6.5 & Over 156.5 pts) in performance 2.21 at stoiximan.
