The wounds from the previous four games are still fresh, and tensions remain high as Monaco announced that, due to security concerns, only 150 Maccabi fans would be allowed into the Salle Gaston Medecin - three times fewer than at the start of the series.
But now it's time to settle it once and for all. BasketNews presents four things that will decide the Monaco and Maccabi series winner on Wednesday night.
Who's going to match Maccabi's duo?
There's no debate here.
Wade Baldwin and Lorenzo Brown have solidified their status as the best guard duo in the EuroLeague.
According to BBallytics, Baldwin ranks second in scoring in the playoffs (18 PPG, 59.4% 2FG, 40% 3FG), first in assists (5.5 APG), and second in points generated from his own scoring and assists (31.3).
Lorenzo Brown ranks fifth in scoring (16.3 PPG, 40.9% 3G), third in assists (4.8 APG), and third in points generated from his scoring and assists (26.8).
Baldwin and Brown haven't had a single-digit performance in points or efficiency in the series. There's no reason
