In Vitoria, Spain, Asvel was no match for Thursday, December 9 against Baskonia, a team that has been struggling since the start of the Euroleague season. After the first half, the Villeurbanne collapsed (91-66), conceding their 5th defeat in their last six European games.
Traveling to Vitoria on Thursday 9 December, on behalf of the 14th day of the Euroleague, the Asvel players return from Spain with a 5th defeat in their last six matches on the European stage. At half-time of this meeting against Baskonia-Vitoria, in the Spanish Basque Country, there was nothing to suggest that Asvel would come home with such a significant defeat in his bag (91-66).
Led by only one point (45-44) after returning from the locker room, TJ Parker’s men collapsed in the 3rd quarter of this meeting against a team that was in 16th place in the Euroleague before the start of the match, Asvel then being 9th. With this final defeat, Villeurbanne fell by one position in the standings (10th), but kept a balanced record, with seven wins for as many defeats. Asvel thus remains at the gates of the European top 8 and a place in the play-offs.
