Euroleague: Strazel and Okobo Lead AS Monaco to Victory Over ASVEL with Just 8 Pros
Following Dubai's crucial victory over Zalgiris Kaunas (61-73), AS Monaco faced immense pressure to secure a win. They successfully navigated a challenging encounter against ASVEL in the Principality this Wednesday, triumphing 81-76. While Mike James returned to the lineup, it was the stellar performances of French guards Mathew Strazel (22 points, 6 assists) and Élie Okobo (16 points, 10 rebounds, 8 assists) that proved decisive, guiding Monaco to victory.
These standout contributions were vital for the Roca Team, who were severely shorthanded, fielding only eight professional players against Villeurbanne. Displaying remarkable resilience and determination, Monaco secured a crucial victory. This win places them just one point behind Panathinaikos, who currently hold the coveted 6th spot, guaranteeing direct qualification for the Euroleague playoffs.
