Final chapter in the EuroLeague

Our Parisians replicated their opening game against SIG Strasbourg. While Zalgiris slowly began to bombard the team from beyond the arc, Justin once again scored the first 6 points of the game for Paris. Well-timed steals also allowed us to withstand Kaunas, who were on a playoff mission. The Lithuanians, however, held onto the lead until our Prince of Paris’ signature step-back. With Lamar responding from way downtown, our players took control of the game for the first time. A slight lead that Derek allowed us to maintain with a final drive at the end of the first quarter (28-26). Paris Basketball, however, managed to hold off the home team’s comeback attempt. But spurred on by Moses Wright’s double-double in under 15 minutes, they created the first real lead of the game. Just before halftime, a well-timed cut by Jared combined with a huge shot by Justin allowed us to limit the damage (45-53).
