Monaco stumbles from the start against Maccabi Tel-Aviv and loses home advantage in the play-offs

Imperative reaction Thursday before going to Tel Aviv

Darrun Hilliard planted two award-winning baskets, imitated by Lorenzo Brown to redo the break (47-60, 28th). Back to the wall unless there was a revolt, Monaco plunged at the start of the last quarter with a lost ball from John Brown sanctioned by a lay-up from Lorenzo Brown (50-62, 31st). With an award-winning basket then a mid-distance shot, Mike James restored some hope (57-66, 33rd), showered once and for all by John Di Bartolomeo behind the arc (62-77, 37th).
