Monaco defeated Baskonia in EuroLeague Round 28, and after the game, coach Vassilis Spanoulis spoke at the press conference.
Monaco played an excellent game, ending a five-game losing streak in Europe’s top competition.
Commenting on the match and his satisfaction, Spanoulis said:
“This is simply a good win for us. We played better defense. We need more consistency throughout the game – and that’s it.
Everyone was ready. Every win in the EuroLeague is important. You never underestimate a victory, especially now after five losses, so I’m definitely happy about the triumph.”
It is well known that Monaco has been struggling both on and off the court, dealing with serious financial problems and debts, which certainly contributed to their recent slump. Still, this is a huge victory for them and could potentially put them back in contention at the top.
This marked Monaco’s 16th EuroLeague win, keeping them comfortably above the play-in threshold, while Baskonia suffered their 17th loss.
