On Tuesday, at the Accor Arena, the Parisians eliminated Pana for the first success in their history in the Euroleague.
The feat is sensational. Paris Basket tamed the Greek club Panathinaikos, reigning European champion, seven-time winner of the competition and led by the French Olympic vice-champion Mathias Lessor (84-80), this Tuesday evening in the Euroleague. In a match played exceptionally in Bercy (and not at the Arena de la Porte de la Chapelle), the Parisians were led by a great Nadir Hifi, author of 20 points and two assists. Opposite, the Frenchman Lessor also responded with 19 points, three assists but above all 11 rebounds.
The players of Tiago Splitter, coach of the Parisian club, dominated the first three quarters (21-19, 24-20, 24-20) but lost slightly in the fourth (14-21). TJ Shorts, Nadir Hifi and their gang held firm in defense to contain the Greek attacks that multiplied at the end of the match. Paris also got a big scare when they saw Panathinaikos go back up to just three points, almost on the gong… But the capital’s players did it.
To be confirmed against Bayern
Under the eyes of former French coach Vincent Collet and French judoka Clarisse Agbegnenou, Paris Basket completely relaunched itself in the competition after suffering two defeats in the first two days, at home against Belgrade and against Milan on 11 October. . This success will be confirmed this Thursday, against Bayern Munich.
