Sarunas Jasikevicius previews Paris-Fenerbahce and says his team must match the French side’s intensity and take away the three-point shot

Fenerbahce visits Paris Basketball in EuroLeague Round 11, with Sarunas Jasikevicius warning about the French side’s pace and offensive form. “Paris is in very good shape, scoring around 100 points and really coming together in its recent wins,” Jasikevicius said. “We have a very difficult game in front of us.”

The Lithuanian coach pointed to the defensive priorities: “We have to match their intensity, guard the first eight seconds and take away the three-point shot.”

Talen Horton-Tucker also focused on transition defense: “We know we’re playing a high-paced team that gets out in transition and shoots a lot of threes. We need to be prepared defensively and handle our responsibilities offensively.”
