Bottom-placed Chalon-Reims (7-19) gave guests AS Monaco (19-7) their money's worth for more than 20 minutes, but ultimately the EuroLeague side prevailed by 107-90 (26-26, 26-27, 24-11, 31-26) three days before hosting ALBA Berlin.

The hosts were leading 53-52 at the break against the Roca Team, but didn't manage to keep the distance in the third quarter (11-24), as they misfired from behind the arc (3/15).

Chalon suffered their seventh LNB defeat in a row, which keeps the Marnais club in last place, while Monaco tie Boulogne-Levallois for first place. 

However, if it hadn't been for Paris Lee's season-best performance, the Monegasques would have been in for some trouble. Lee finished the game with 21 points, 7 rebounds, 9 assists, 3 steals for a PIR of 35, his highest in the current campaign. 

Donatas Motiejunas chipped in 17 points, as Sasa Obradovic's team had seven players in double-digits. 

For Chalon, Dustin Ware scored 20 points, former AX Armani Exchange Milan and Panathinaikos OPAP Athens big man Gani Lawal racked up an impressive double-double of 20 points and 12 rebounds, while Michael Stockton, son of Utah Jazz legend John, added 11 points and 8 assists.

Chalon-Reims: Dustin Ware 20 (6/11 FG, 5/5 FT, 4 AST), Gani Lawal 20 (9/10 FG, 12 REB), Michael Stockton 11 (4/8 FG, 1/1 FT, 4 REB, 8 AST), Neal Sako 11, Orlando Coleman 10.

AS Monaco: Paris Lee 21 (6/10 FG, 5/5 FT, 7 REB, 9 AST, 3 ST), Donatas Motiejunas 17 (7/12 FG, 3/3 FT, 5 REB), Brock Motum 13 (5/8 FG, 2/2 FT, 5 REB), Donta Hall 12 (3/3 FG, 6/7 FG, 5 REB), Dwayne Bacon 12, Ibrahima Faye 11, Danilo Andjusic 10.
