The most dominant team ever in the competition seizes the crown, too!

Paris Basketball is the new BKT EuroCup champion after completing a sweep of the entire playoffs with an 81-89 road win on Friday in Game 2 of the best-of-three finals on the home court of Mincidelice JL Bourg en Bresse. The victory ensures that for the first time this century, the French capital will have a representative in the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague next season. Paris completed an unprecedented 22-1 campaign in comeback fashion after trailing for 20 minutes into the second half but then slowly turning the game in its favor until a 9-0 fourth-quarter fun gave the visitors control the rest of the way. TJ Shorts led the winners with 22 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists. Mikael Jantunen followed with 15 points, Nadir Hifi with 14 and Tyson Ward with 10. Congratulations to the new champs!
