The Roca Team closed out its EuroLeague regular season in emphatic fashion, sweeping aside Hapoel Tel Aviv 105–85 at the Salle Gaston Médecin to secure a place in the play-in round on Friday, April 17.
In a performance built on intensity and cohesion, the Roca Team controlled proceedings from the opening minutes, combining sharp shooting with disciplined defence to overwhelm their Israeli opponents. The victory ensures Monaco heads into the next phase of the competition with momentum—and confidence—firmly on its side.
Jaron Blossomgame delivered a standout display, recording a career-best 30 points in a performance that set the tone for the evening. He was well supported by Mike James, who added 20 points and seven assists, orchestrating Monaco’s offence with authority.
The hosts wasted little time asserting themselves, racing into an early lead and maintaining control throughout the contest. By the end of the first quarter, Monaco had already established a double-digit advantage, which they steadily extended with fluid attacking play and relentless pressure.
Despite brief resistance from Hapoel, Monaco’s consistency proved decisive. The gap stretched beyond 20 points in the third quarter, effectively ending any hopes of a comeback and allowing the home side to manage the closing stages with composure.
The result not only confirms Monaco’s qualification for the play-in but also strengthens its position heading into the next round, where a place in the EuroLeague play-offs will be at stake.
Attention now turns to a high-stakes clash against Panathinaikos, where Monaco will look to build on one of its most convincing performances in recent weeks and continue its European campaign.
