THE BIG EIGHT FOR PARIS !

In a packed adidas Arena, our Paris team secured another victory against Bologna, marking their eighth consecutive win in EuroLeague!

Who can stop us? In front of 8,000 spectators this Thursday night, our players put on a show against Virtus Bologna to claim an eighth straight win (81-78) in EuroLeague! After a hard-fought game, T.J. Shorts and his teammates overcame the Italian challenge under the watchful eyes of Laurent Delahousse, Hatik, and Lilian Thuram.

In a challenging start where Luca Banchi’s men found their rhythm, our Parisians stayed close and never gave up. Led by Maodo Lô, our second unit closed the gap, particularly with some strong defense (21-24).

Serving up assist after assist, T.J. Shorts got us back on track. Nadir Hifi followed Maodo’s lead, hitting a long-range shot, and the crowd went wild before the break as Bologna was forced to call a timeout (44-48).

While our ball movement clicked perfectly, Bologna’s attack stalled, getting stopped by our strong interior defense. Yakuba Ouattara got everyone back on track after the break, scoring 5 points in a row to the delight of the adidas Arena crowd. Nadir made his defender dance, and we took the lead before the final ten minutes (69-61).

To close out the game and secure a tenth straight win across all competitions, every Paris player contributed. Despite the experience and 25 points from Will Clyburn, T.J. sealed the game with his signature mid-range shot (81-78)!
