Riding the momentum of an impressive EuroLeague campaign, Paris have stormed through the domestic league with confidence and fire.

They wrapped up the regular season perched at the top of the standings, carving out a playoff path that’s looked almost effortless — edging past Dijon 2–1 before sweeping Bourges 3–0 in dominant fashion.

In the playoffs, their offense has been nothing short of electrifying, lighting up the scoreboard with an average of 102 points per game, and an eye-popping 108 points on home turf.

Now, Paris stand on the brink of history, chasing their first-ever French championship crown. The finals promise a fierce battle, with Monaco ready to strike back, but Paris hold a slight edge thanks to the roar of the home crowd.

With more than half the squad — including the head coach — set to move on next season, this team is pouring everything they’ve got into this moment, eager to cap off a remarkable run with the ultimate prize.

Monaco Form & Team News

Monaco went through a lot of turbulence to get this far, but they managed to turn the series around against Asvel and secure their fourth consecutive finals appearance.

As the fourth game unfolded, it looked like the series would go to a decisive fifth match. Asvel controlled the game for 35 minutes, maintaining a steady lead that peaked at +15 in the final quarter. Then came an incredible 20–0 run by Monaco, which closed out the game and booked their spot in the finals. 

It’s worth noting that Monaco have played the entire playoffs without their best player, Mike James, who has been suspended by the club.

In his absence, Matthew Strazel has taken on extra responsibility and played brilliantly, while Elie Okobo, who struggled at the EuroLeague Final Four, has also stepped up.

These two players were key to Monaco’s victory in game four. Okobo finished the match with 26 points, 6 rebounds, and 8 assists, while Strazel recorded a double-double with 18 points and 10 assists.

Head to Head

Paris and Monaco have faced each other four times this season across the EuroLeague and LNB. The score is tied at 2–2, with Monaco winning the most recent matchup convincingly, 94–63.
