Paris Basketball delivered one of its most complete performances of the EuroLeague season with a convincing 97-81 road victory over Kosner Baskonia Vitoria-Gasteiz on Friday, March 6, at Buesa Arena.
The win improved Paris to 11-18 in the 2025-26 EuroLeague standings and extended its road winning streak to three games after recent victories against Panathinaikos AKTOR Athens and FC Barcelona.
The French club set the tone early with pace and spacing, forcing Baskonia’s defense into rotation and generating open looks from the perimeter.
Paris built control in the second quarter when a burst of transition baskets and three-point shooting opened a 25-point lead, putting the visitors firmly ahead before halftime.
Nadir Hifi led the attack with 21 points and consistently pressured Baskonia’s defense with drives and perimeter shooting.
Paris maintained its rhythm by moving the ball and spreading the scoring across the roster.
Justin Robinson finished with 19 points and four three-pointers, while Jared Rhoden added 16 points and also connected four times from long range.
Eight different Paris players knocked down at least one three-pointer as the team shot 17-of-39 from beyond the arc, good for 43.6 percent.
Rebounding also played a major role in the result as Paris secured 41 total boards and converted second-chance opportunities into 21 points.
Center Allan Dokossi provided a strong all-around contribution despite scoring only two points.
The French big man collected 11 rebounds and dished six assists while helping control the interior on both ends.
Baskonia attempted to mount a response in the third quarter but never fully recovered from the early deficit.
Eugene Omoruyi led the Spanish side with 17 points, while Clement Frisch added 13 points and six rebounds.
Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot also scored 13 points, but Baskonia struggled to sustain offensive rhythm against Paris’s defensive pressure.
Baskonia committed 18 turnovers and could not match Paris’s pace in transition or on the perimeter.
Paris will host LDLC ASVEL Villeurbanne next Thursday, while Baskonia travels to face Dubai Basketball.
