Overview
- Barcelona, which fell 93-86 in Monaco on Friday, now must beat Bayern Munich in the final round to secure a EuroLeague play-in berth.
- Anadolu Efes winning in Dubai kept Barcelona in control of its destiny despite this third straight EuroLeague loss.
- With Tomáš Satoranský and Nicolás Laprovittola still out, Barcelona lacked a true point guard as Juani Marcos did not play and Juan Núñez saw only brief minutes.
- Free throws swung the game, with Monaco hitting 26 of 29 from the line while Barcelona took just 12 and made 10.
- Monaco managed the win with only eight players and without injured Nikola Mirotić, posting six double-digit scorers led by Elie Okobo and Mike James with 16 each.
