38th minute (87-97)
What you can’t do is play great defense and lose defensive rebounds, and that just happened in Valencia.

Gian Montero’s acrobatic basket, but Valencia missed the next two attacks
Minutes 36(84-93)
If Puerto leads by three points, Valencia will need to add three points at a time to close the gap by more than 10 points. Another one arrives from Leuvers, but the problem is that Monaco also attacks in almost every attack. Reuvers completed the one-minute hoop with a penetrating one-handed kill.
34th minute (77-91)

James finds Mirotic, who doesn’t allow triples. Valencia doesn’t know how to stop a generation of American point guard play. It’s for Pedro Martinez.
24 minutes (54-64)

16 minutes (40-44)
Valencia came back well from the timeout and Badiou scored. Now Taylor posts in front of James and imposes his size to add new baskets. Monaco’s point guard returns with a triple, but Reuvers also scores.
15th minute (34-41)
Valencia are very inaccurate and often lose the ball. Nedovic hits a triple to put Monaco at +7, but Pedro Martínez has to stop it.
14th minute (34-34)
Crazy few minutes for both teams, with Brosson’s game blowing on the counter-attack, a foul from Nedovic to Pradilla, and a technique to Strazell. Montero missed a technical free throw. The game was very close, advantage after advantage, and we went basket by basket. A very good time for the Brosson game.
12 minutes (30-30)
Isaac Noguez has just come onto the court and has already stolen the first ball. What a great defender Badalona is. Pradilla reacts to a block from Begarin to Sako, a basket from Brossongame and a great pass from Noguez. And hats off to Nedovich from Thompson.
2nd quarter begins
10th minute (28-26)
Pradilla recovers the lost ball and assists Costello’s basket. Diallo leads Monaco for the first time at 2+1.

In the final inning, Valencia showed good defense, and the quarter ended with Valencia leading by two points.
8th minute (23-23)
Hayes took advantage of a mistake by the local defense to score easily from three meters, and the visitors’ next attack allowed Okabo to equalize. Montero broke the tie with a counterattack triple, but Hayes continued to do major damage in the zone. Badiou responded with an inside basket. Valencia then picked up the first foul of the match, while Monaco picked up four. The second one was from Costello to Mike James who made three free throws out of nowhere. A mistake by the American from Valencia allowed James to score a 3 to tie the game at 23 points.
6th minute (18-14)
Mirotic then hit another triple from the opposite corner. The goal from under the rim gave the former Barça player eight points in a row. However, Valencia continued to score through the keys. And a new counterattack by Badiou crushing a long pass from Gian Montero. The referee stops the match because he is unsure if the score is correct and plans to review what has happened in the match so far.
4th minute (12-9)
Less than four minutes later, Mirotic committed his second foul. Spanoulis complained to the referee. Reuvers only made one free throw. Mirotic made a 3-pointer off a corner kick at the end of the possession.
3rd minute (11-6)
After Monaco lost again, Darius Thompson scored again on a counterattack. Then, in the middle of the track, there’s another song, this time Key’s new counterattack. This is for Spanoulis.
Minutes 2 (7-4)
Taylor took the lead after an offensive rebound, and Thompson responded with a triple and counterattack after Mike James’ basket. Sum into the Diallo table.
the match begins
Initial quintet already exists
Valencia’s starting lineup includes Thompson, Moore, Taylor, Pradilla and Sakho.
Monaco have James, Okobo, Diallo, Mirotic and Hayes.
A good example in La Fonteta
The match will be AS Monaco’s third visit to Valencia, and their first at the Roig Arena. In the last two editions held at La Fonteta, victory fell to the Taronja side. However, caution should be taken with the latest precedents. In the first round match in October, AS Monaco jumped out to a huge lead before halftime, but Valencia Baskett was unable to erase it and won 90-84. This showdown will be the first time Valencia Basket will face a team it lost to this season.
These are abandoned Valencias
Coach Pedro Martínez left Xavi López Arostegui, Sergio de Larrea and Yankuba Sima out of his squad for the game.
Last minute loss in Monaco
Vasilis Spanoulis’ team will not be able to rely on the German center today Daniel Theishas injured his hand and will be KO’d for several days.
Monaco wins 4 games in a row
AS Monaco lands in Valencia with four consecutive wins in the Euroleague. With that momentum, they have comfortably outscored Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, Barcelona, and most recently Partizan at home.
A highly accomplished rival with high scoring ability and excellent defense.
Monaco’s team stands out not only for its scoring pace, which averages over 91 points, but also for its ability to dominate the inside game and create a collective advantage. Furthermore, Vasilis Spanoulis’ team has achieved a high level of balance and ranks alongside Valencia Basket as one of the best defenses of the tournament in terms of efficiency.
El Valencia is difficult to handle at home
The duel took place during the most physically demanding period for Pedro Martínez’s side, with four games in seven days, but also strengthened by the big win against Red Star in Belgrade and eight consecutive continental wins at home.
Monaco by the river
Valencia Basket will return to the Roig Arena for the visit of AS Monaco. The Talonja team set the pace of the tournament on the offensive side, and with a string of wins, they were firmly established in the upper division zone, taking third place with 13 wins and 7 losses.
