Bayern Munich defeated ASVEL 95-99 at the LDLC Arena in Décines on Thursday, November 5, 2026, snapping a four-game EuroLeague losing streak with a 10-3 closing run — and ending the hosts’ two-game winning streak on a final possession that left ASVEL players and officials protesting a non-call, Sports – Orange reported.
The most telling detail of the night came in the final seconds: with ASVEL trailing 95-97 and Patty Mills driving to the rim, Bayern forward Vladimir Lucic’s shoulder caught Mills in the face, but the officiating crew of Damir Javor, Michele Rossi and Stefan Calic did not blow a foul, beIN SPORTS and BeBasket reported. Mills, who finished with 22 points, stayed on the floor, and Lucic later apologized to him with a “my bad,” according to BeBasket.
Patty Mills’ Drive and the Non-Call That Ended the Game
beIN SPORTS described the ending as a “very contestable” officiating decision on the decisive possession, with ASVEL believing it had the ball of match in hand. BeBasket noted that while a simple foul seemed evident, it was hard to characterize as an unsportsmanlike foul, so nothing was called — leaving the former Spurs point guard stunned. ASVEL president Tony Parker summed up the mood afterward, telling BeBasket: “Everyone knows there was a foul, but that’s how it is.” He added that the team could not blame only the last action: “We’re not losing the game on that play.”

The discrepancy in free-throw attempts underscored the officiating friction: Bayern went 23-for-28 at the line to ASVEL’s 14-for-17, an 11-attempt gap that BeBasket flagged as a legitimate source of frustration for the hosts.
How the Game Unfolded at LDLC Arena
Rokas Jokubaitis (13 points, 5 assists) hit a long three to start the scoring, and Vladimir Lucic (18 points, 8 assists) and Austin Wiley (22 points, 9 rebounds) followed to put the visitors up by six after barely three minutes, Sports – Orange reported. ASVEL answered through Both Gach (18 points) and Patty Mills, both from deep, and a pair of free throws from Marc-Owen Fodzo Dada gave the hosts a one-point lead at the end of the first quarter.
The second quarter stayed tight — ASVEL never led by more than four — until Andreas Obst and Lucic combined for a 5-0 run that put Bayern back in front, and Johannes Thiemann (13 points) tied the game at halftime. In the third quarter Bayern ran the show, with Justinian Jessup (14 points, 5 rebounds) fueling a 12-2 burst in the final five minutes that gave Munich its first double-digit lead of the night.
Hugo Besson (11 points) hit a three with ten minutes left to bring ASVEL within seven, and the hosts gradually clawed back in the fourth quarter, taking the lead with just over two minutes remaining on a Both Gach basket and extending it to four on a TyTy Washington (9 points) shot. But Bayern closed the game on a 10-3 run powered by Lucic, Wiley and Jokubaitis, sealing the 95-99 final score, Sports – Orange reported.
Bayern Ends Four-Game Skid; ASVEL’s Streak Stops at Two
The win halted a four-game losing streak for Bayern, which had been winless since mid-October and sat 18th in the EuroLeague standings, desperately seeking a victory at Décines, according to BeBasket. For ASVEL, the loss ended a winning streak that had begun with victories over Partizan Belgrade and Baskonia Vitoria-Gasteiz, Sports – Orange reported.
Head coach Anton Gavel pointed to his team’s own shortcomings rather than the final play. “Fifty-four points conceded in the second half is way too much,” he said, per BeBasket. “These are recurring problems and we need to be aware of that. We really need to improve on defense. The two games we won, we defended well, like when we held Partizan to 75 points. Ninety-nine points at home, that’s too much.”
The rebounding battle told much of that defensive story: Bayern outrebounded ASVEL 32-21 overall and dominated the second-half glass 22-6, letting Munich’s big men feast inside, BeBasket reported. Team shooting was close — ASVEL 56.7 percent, Bayern 58.1 percent — and from three-point range ASVEL was 13-of-25 while Bayern was 14-of-17.
What Comes Next for ASVEL in the EuroLeague
ASVEL will look to restart against Besiktas Istanbul at home in eight days, Sports – Orange reported. Parker acknowledged the timing stings: “It’s still a long season,” he said, per BeBasket, “but it’s true that these are important moments in the year with all these home games. That’s why it’s hard tonight.”
