AS Monaco continues its good course in the Euroleague. On Friday, the Monegasques easily dominated Bayern Munich at home (94-71) on the 9th day of the Euroleague basketball, winning their fifth victory in the competition, for four defeats.

Back in the Principality after two losses away from home in all competitions, the men coached by Zvezdan Mitrovic consolidated their position among the top eight teams, synonymous with access to the playoffs. The Roca Team met in the lead without ever being really worried, in front of the spectators gathered in the Gaston Médecin hall with 5,000 seats.

The Monegasques managed a comfortable lead of a big dozen points throughout the four periods. If Danta Hall regaled the supporters with a magnificent dunk at the very end of the first quarter, it was above all thanks to the brilliant form displayed by former NBA leader Mike James (18 points) and his teammates Dwayne Bacon (16 pts) and Danilo Andjusic (16 pts) that the Monegasques dominated Bayern.

For the 7th participation in its history in the Euroleague, Bayern Munich now has a record of three wins for six losses and is in 14th place out of 18. At the same time, Zenit beat Olympiakos (84-78 ), Fenerbahçe lost heavily at home against Olimpia Milan (43-68) and Real Madrid largely beat Kaunas (95-82). The day before, Asvel bowed to the wire in Belgrade (73-67).

Next meetings for the Monegasques: trips against Maccabi Tel Aviv in Israel (5th) and against Fenerbahçe (13th) in Istanbul next week.
