Monaco basketball players triumphed in the semi-finals of the European Cup, leaving after the last second shot 76:74 (21:26, 24: 9, 11:14, 20:25) defeated Herbalife Gran Canaria in Las Palmas with Tom Dims.
Man of the match
The Monaco club won the series 2-0 and advanced to the final.
If the Valencian club does not reach the Euroleague quarter-finals, this victory will guarantee Monaco’s basketball players a ticket to next season’s Euroleague.
Valencia will not reach the quarter-finals if Zenit St. Petersburg defeat Panathinaikos Athens on Monday.
If Valencia reached the quarter-finals, Monaco would only advance to the Euroleague after winning the European Cup.
Team Dimša’s losers scored 6 points (3/3 dvit., 0/2 trit.) In 16 minutes, they bounced 2 balls, made 2 assists, made a mistake, fouled and scored 8 utility points.
The Spanish club eliminated the 13-point deficit in the second half of the match and tied the score seven minutes earlier (59:59).
However, Monaco soon fell 8 points (70:62), the same distance separating the teams with 80 seconds left (74:66).
AJ Slaughter then scored a triple, Matthew Costello added two points and Herbalife Gran Canaria came close to 71:74 with 29 seconds to go.
Dee Bostas missed both penalties and left an opportunity for the hosts. Andrew Albicy took the three penalties with 3 seconds remaining and tied the score (74:74), but that was not all.
Rob Gray scored a double point from midfield in the final second and Stanley Okoye’s final pitch missed the goal.
