Despite his defeat, Thursday evening against Real Madrid (105-104), Paris Basketball is guaranteed to continue the adventure in Euroligue. The French club is qualified for the Play-in of the competition thanks to the defeat of Milan on the prosecution of the Virtus Bologna (90-70) this Friday evening.
Parisians (18 victories for 15 losses), can no longer be joined in 10th place by the Milanese, two successes behind, when only one day remains to be played. They will receive the Alba Berlin on Thursday with the ambition to treat their ranking.
