AS Monaco produced a solid offensive display but ultimately fell short in a 101-91 defeat to Dubai Basketball, with defensive lapses proving decisive over four quarters.
Alpha Diallo and Kevarrius Hayes led the scoring with 17 points each, while Jaron Blossomgame and Nikola Mirotic added 15 points each. Nemanja Nedovic also contributed 11 points, but their efforts fell short.
Offensively, Monaco shot efficiently, hitting 50% from the two point range, 42.3% from the perimeter and 70% from the free throw line, while dishing out 26 assists. Defensively, they got outrebounded 38-32, giving away second chance opportunities and struggled to contain Dubai’s high efficiency offense, which capitalized on transition opportunities and perimeter shooting.
In the end, it was a performance defined by offense fluidity but undermined by defensive inconsistency and an inability to close out the game. Overall, the team averages 90.3 points per game, while dishing out 20.9 assists. Defensively, they record 34.4 rebounds, 7 steals and 2.7 blocks per game.
LDLC ASVEL Villeurbanne delivered a competitive but ultimately insufficient performance in their 82-74 loss to Olympiacos Piraeus, with second quarter struggles proving decisive.
Melvin Ajinca led the scoring with 17 points and Braian Angola added 14 points, the only two players who managed to score in double figures, while the rest of the supporting cast failed to step up.
Offensively, ASVEL showed flashes, particularly from the three point range (32.4%) and free throw line (88.9%), but their overall efficiency lacked behind. Defensively, rebounding was a major issue, as they were dominated 47-30 on the boards, allowing multiple second chance opportunities.
Ultimately, it was a spirited but flawed performance, undone by rebounding deficits and a costly second-quarter dip. Overall, the team averages 79.1 points per game while dishing out 17.5 assists. Defensively, they record 33.8 rebounds, 6.7 steals and 2.6 blocks per game.
