Roca Team to face Paris Basketball in Pro A title decider
By Zak Jackson, MonacoViews Editorial
The Roca Team will contest the Pro A championship final against defending champions Paris Basketball, who sealed their semi-final series against Cholet on Tuesday night.
Paris Basketball secured their place in the Pro A final on Tuesday evening, edging Cholet 94-91 to take their semi-final series 3-1, with Nadir Hifi's decisive late basket settling a tight contest. They now travel to the Principality as defending champions, having claimed last season's title.
The Roca Team confirmed their own final berth on Monday night with victory away at Nanterre, setting up a meeting with the one side capable of matching Monaco's ambitions for the crown. The first game of the best-of-five final is scheduled for Sunday.
For a club that has spent recent seasons competing at the highest level in the EuroLeague, a domestic championship would represent a significant addition. The Salle Gaston-Médecin will host at least two home legs, giving supporters in the Principality the chance to watch the Roca Team compete for the most important prize in French basketball.
