Milan-Paris Basket (79-74): the Parisians close to achieving the feat against a big Euroleague team

For its first season in the Euroleague, Paris Basketball almost caused a sensation, a week after the defeat against Red Star Belgrade (77-80). In Milan, a European basketball giant and declared candidate for the Final Four, the capital club was ahead by eight points, leading 63-71 with 5’31 left. But it was the Milanese, beaten as soon as they entered the Munich competition (93-80), who won (79-74).

While the second act of the match ended with the score 35-39 in favor of Paris Basket, the latter increased its lead in the third quarter (48-54) before Milan regained the advantage at the siren (58-57 ).

But the Parisians were able to raise their heads in the last round against the Milanese ogre, and extended the gap by six points (61-67), then eight (63-71) with 5’31 to go. However, his opponent found the resources to recover the score (69-71) and win on the wire.

Paris Basketball will play in Dijon this Sunday in the league before returning to the European scene on Tuesday against Panathinaikos, the European champion club, in Bercy. 48 hours later, the Parisians will travel to Monaco before hosting Nanterre at the Accor Arena on Sunday 20 October. Suffice it to say, Parisians won’t have time to breathe and think about it.
