By Zak Jackson, MonacoViews Editorial
AS Monaco Basket secured the Pro A championship on Tuesday 23 June, beating Paris 101-92 in Game 5 to complete an unprecedented quadruple.
Tuesday night in Paris, the Roca Team claimed its third French basketball championship with a 101-92 victory in the deciding fifth game, capping what has been an extraordinary season for the Principality's club. The win completes a historic quadruple, a feat no French basketball side has achieved before.
Named the Finals MVP, guard Elie Okobo was the standout performer across the series and spoke warmly of the collective effort that carried Monaco through what he described as a surreal campaign. The title adds to a season already laden with silverware and cements the Roca Team's position as the dominant force in French basketball.
For residents and supporters in the Principality, the achievement marks a remarkable chapter in the club's relatively short history at the top level. The Salle Gaston Médecin is likely to host a reception befitting a squad that has now delivered three league titles and made European basketball take notice.
