Real Madrid-Paris Basketball: final home game of the year in EuroLeague
Scariolo's boys look for their tenth win in the competition at the Movistar Arena (8:45 pm CET).
Real Madrid host Paris Basketball today in their last EuroLeague game of the year at the Movistar Arena (8:45 pm CET). Our team will look to extend their good form at home, where they've won ten of their eleven games so far this season.
The madridistas (9-7) face the second-from-bottom in the table (5-11) as they chase another win in the competition. Aside from the second quarter against Milan on Tuesday, Scariolo's boys have delivered a string of impressive displays over the last month. Meanwhile, Paris are looking to get back to winning ways after a run of five successive defeats.
Madrid will have to be strong in defense, given the Paris outfit boast the second-best offense in the league (89.9 points). Hifi (20.5) and Robinson (15) are the key players for an athletic unit with real power on the rebound. At the same time, the French team concede more than they score (92,7), something Scariolo's boys will have to capitalise on, making the most of their four players averaging double digits on PIR (Campazzo, Maledon, Lyles and Tavares).
Halfway through the month
Tonight's game will be the sixth in December for the madridistas. There are still three in the League and one EuroLeague clash ahead of the end of the year: first up, Saturday away at Hiopos Lleida; next, on Friday 26 at Monaco; then Sunday 28 against Unicaja at the Movistar Arena and Tuesday 30 against UCAM Murcia away. Today, it's all eyes on another home win.
