Euroleague: Monaco and James continue against Berlin

For the home debut of Kemba Walker, summer recruit and NBA All-Star, Monaco scored a second consecutive success in the Euroleague (86-75), against Alba Berlin, Friday during the 4th day of the competition. It will still take time to see the best of Walker on European courts. But after ten minutes played in Belgrade on Wednesday, the American, whose last appearance in the NBA dates back to January 5 (two minutes and two points scored with Dallas against Boston), compiled five points and two assists, also conceding two balls lost, for essentially the same playing time.

He and Monaco therefore offered themselves a second consecutive victory in the Euroleague before hosting Maccabi Tel Aviv on October 26. It will still be without Jordan Loyd, whose return is not expected before early November. But at the start of the season, the Principality team can count on Mike James, who is in good shape, as evidenced by his convincing statistics line (17 points, 7 assists and four rebounds).

The Roca Team led by nine points during the first quarter (12-3, 7th), but it sinned by its lack of long-distance skill (0/4), while its opponent, faithful to his habits , was rather successful during his period at this level (3/7). Coming back to two units at the end of the first quarter (18-16), the Germans even went ahead (21-20, 12th, and 23-22, 13th). But the debut of Walker, who came into play a few minutes earlier and scored his first three-point basket under his new colors, allowed Monaco to get back in front and stay there (25-23, 13th).

With Mike James altruistic, the Monegasques, who relied on twelve different scorers, gradually increased their lead to 11 points, on a powerful dunk from Donta Hall (39-28, 16th). Despite coming close at the break (47-40 MT), Berlin continued to suffer. Even if Monaco should have folded the match during the third quarter (62-48, 28th), a few air gaps still left the Germans in the game (67-56, 30th). So, at the end of the match, James went for four more points (83-71, 38th) to seal the match.
