Former Indiana Pacers player, Brimah, converted six of seven two-point shot attempts while scoring four of five free throw shot attempts. He ranked third in scoring for Bourg while leading all players in rebounds and blocks.
One of those three blocks was an impressive display of Brimah’s length and athleticism to deny Chima Moneke’s layup attempt.
Ghana-born French international, Yakuba Ouattara played 13 minutes for Monaco, registering four points and three rebounds, and added a steal.
Bourg needs to win Game 3 to avoid getting swept in the series in Brimah’s debut playoff campaign in France.
