Two days after picking up the first victory in its history in the Euroleague (84-80) at the expense of the Greeks of Panathinaikos Athens, reigning championParis Basketball ended up losing to the Germans Bayern Munich (109-107) after having the ball of success in the last seconds.
The Ile-de-France residents, manhandled for nearly 25 minutes (66-56), almost turned the situation around in a completely crazy end to the game: thanks to two consecutive winning shots, Tyson Ward (106-104 13 seconds from the buzzer) then Nadir Hifi (108-107 at 12”) maintained hope, before the Bavarians lost the ball on the throw-in. But TJ Shorts (22 points, 9 assists), with 7” to play, did not did not manage to conclude his race victoriously, being blocked in the racket when he could perhaps have displaced an unmarked partner.
Festival behind the three-point line
In addition to this last action, the visitors may regret too lax defense, in particular on Shabazz Napier (27 pts, 6 out of 10 from three points) and Carsten Edwards (32 pts, 6/8 from long distance). They enjoyed themselves behind the arc in this very offensive match during which 27 baskets beyond the line were scored: 13/32 for Paris and 14/33 for Munich, whose assistant coach is a certain TJ Parker, the former coach of Lyon-Villeurbanne (Asvel).
