Monaco, three days after its rout in the Euroleague in the Partizan Belgrade room (100-80), painfully beat Sunday at home Pau-Orthez (83-77), who had a possession to go to overtime finally wasted, at the occasion of the 16th day of Elite.
The Roca Team (13 wins for three losses) regains the lead with a successful lead over Cholet (12/4), winner on Saturday in Nanterre (84-78), while waiting for the Boulogne-Levallois match (3rd, 11/ 4) Monday night against Asvel.
She was hot against Elan Béarnais, who equalized 50 seconds from time and may regret their 0/4 free throws in the last minute (Chikoko at 77-77 then Stockton at 78-77 for Monaco).
Alpha Diallo (one out of two free throws) then Elie Okobo, who succeeded in his two attempts (80-77 with 5 seconds to play) were more successful in money time for Monaco.
Before a misunderstanding between Michael Stockton, son of former member of the American “Dream Team” John Stockton, and Markeith Cummings, on possession to allow Pau to snatch a possible extension, five seconds from the siren.
