AS Monaco secured its first Final Four thanks to the brilliant performance of Mike James, who scored 21 points in 20 minutes, significantly contributing to the 97-86 victory.
Game 5 was characterized by a high pace and great show. In the first and second quarters, Maccabi struggled to counter Monaco's offensive actions, while in the third quarter, Baldwin IV caught up with James with 21 points. In the decisive fourth quarter, an unsportsmanlike foul by Colson allowed Monaco to take control of the game.
Despite Wade Baldwin's great performance, Maccabi failed to match Monaco's brilliance.
The Monégasques will face Olympiacos in Kaunas in the next match, while Real Madrid will play against Barcelona on May 19th.
