Paris leads the way

Published on December 6, 2023

Paris Basketball pulled off another EuroCup coup on Wednesday evening! Thanks to their victory over Hapoël Tel-Aviv, our Parisians have consolidated their position at the top of Group A.

Untouchable in Europe

6 out of 6! Our players continue their unbeaten run in the EuroCup. However, the start of the match was a little tricky. Imposing a tough physical challenge in the opening minutes, Hapoël pulled away and took the lead at the end of the first quarter (21-24).

Gradually, however, the exchanges began to even out under the impetus of our point guard TJ Shorts, who was again unstoppable last night. At the break, the Parisians returned to the locker room with a substantial advantage (54-39).

The gap widened even further in the 3rd quarter (82-59). Literally exhausted by the home team’s pace, the Israelis crumbled completely, conceding their first defeat in a European Cup (114-87).

Double special mention tonight for TJ Shorts (15 points, 10 assists for an ERA of 21) and Collin Malcom (23 points for an ERA of 29).

In the end, the players from the capital emerged victorious from this summit duel against Hapoël Tel-Aviv, retaining their position at the top of Group A. A total of 6 wins from as many games.
