Barcelona bigs shined in big French capital win

FC Barcelona had a victorious return to its place of happiness. At Accor Arena in Paris, the venue where the club won its last Turkish Airlines EuroLeague title in 2010, Barcelona topped Paris Basketball 79-90 in a display of confidence and experience.

It was a completely opposite display from what we witnessed not even two months ago, in Round 10, when Paris went into Palau Blaugrana and dominated in an 87-103 win. That game started a losing streak, as Barcelona entered this game as a loser in seven of its last nine games.

But, from the opening tip on Friday night, Barcelona looked like a team that knew what it wanted and, more importantly, how to get it.

The team's two biggest stars at Accor Arena were its two big men, Willy Hernangomez and Chimezie Metu. Hernangomez finished with 23 points and 10 rebounds, while Metu had 13 points in 15 minutes on the floor.
