And - Congratulations! The Monaco Basketball team have made history after winning its first French Cup. Sasa Obradovic's Roca Team came back from almost nowhere to clinch the first title in their history after losing four finals!

ASM Basket therefore remains undefeated in these 2022-2023 play-offs (7 matches - 7 wins), a first since Limoges in 1988. The Principality is celebrating!
