Monaco, despite being heavily weakened, was unexpectedly defeated at home by Nancy 94-86 in the 22nd round of the LNB Pro A league.
At today’s game, Monaco had only seven players available on the roster, as Mike James, Elie Okobo, and Matthew Strazel were not in the lineup, while Nikola Mirotic had already been sidelined due to injury.
The home team started the game well, looking sharp offensively as they scored 25 points in the first quarter. However, the second quarter was the complete opposite, as Nancy displayed excellent team play on both ends of the floor, scoring 32 points while allowing the home side just 12.

Even in the second half, Monaco couldn’t catch up, as Nancy maintained control of the game with a consistent 10-point lead. However, in the final 10 minutes, the visitors faltered, and Monaco tried to take advantage of this, led by the excellent Nemanja Nedovic, to bring the score back to a tie. Nevertheless, the guests remained composed, and in a tense finish, the victory went to them.
𝐅𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐒𝐜𝐨𝐫𝐞.
