Roca Team Head to Paris Seeking to Level Finals Series
By Zak Jackson, MonacoViews Editorial
AS Monaco Basket travel to Paris on Wednesday evening trailing 1-0 in the Pro B final, with Okobo and Strazel again expected to carry the offensive load.
The Roca Team face an immediate response mission in Game 2 of the Betclic Elite final this Wednesday at 20h30, after falling to Paris in the opening match. Guard Elie Okobo, one of the standout performers across the play-off run, has signalled the squad must raise its performance level again if they are to draw level in the series.
With Monaco's roster stretched thin by injury and fatigue at this late stage of the season, coach Sasa Obradovic is leaning heavily on the Okobo-Strazel backcourt partnership to generate the creativity and scoring the team needs on the road. A win in Paris would return the final to an even footing ahead of any subsequent matches at Salle Gaston Médecin.
