Euro League
Villeurbanne defeated Monaco in a two-overtime derby
It took Villeurbanne and Monaco 50 minutes, two overtimes, to settle their “differences”, with the hosts taking the win (87-79) and Mike James having 8/27 shots.
The two French Euroleague teams crossed swords for the national championship on Sunday afternoon (13/2) and their battle looked unlikely as it was decided in a 50-minute game after two overtimes!
