Monaco beat Real Madrid (8-4) in an overtime drama 95-94 (17-23, 28-25, 20-14, 23-26, 7-6) to snap Los Blancos' 6-game winning streak.

With 4.3 seconds left in the fourth quarter, Real were leading 88-84, but then James sank an incredible 3-pointer over Walter Tavares with his foul and tied the game 88-88.

A desperate Dzanan Musa shot didn't go in, and the game went to overtime.

The game remained close, and after James free throws, Monaco had a 3-point lead with 2 minutes left (95-92). Neither of the teams couldn't score for more than a minute, but with 27.6 seconds remaining, Musa made both free throws and cut Real's deficit to 1 point (94-95).

Despite 3 seconds difference between the 24-second and game clock, Real didn't commit an intentional foul. The game clock ran out, and Monaco claimed victory.

James finished the game with 28 points (4/11 2PT, 4/7 3PT, 8/12 FT), 3 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 turnover, 13 drawn fouls, and 27 PIR.

The incredible game was interrupted and rather overshadowed by a scary Jordan Loyd injury.

With 6.8 seconds left in the fourth quarter, Loyd ran towards the paint to fight for the rebound but bumped into Guerschon Yabusele's elbow and immediately went down on the floor.

The American guard was bleeding from the nose and laid down on the court for a few minutes.

Eventually, he was stretchered off with an oxygen mask on his face. At the moment, it is unknown what kind and how severe the injury is.

In 27 minutes of playing time, Loyd accumulated 19 points (6/7 2PT, 2/6 3PT, 1/2 FT), 4 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 steals, 4 drawn fouls, and 25 PIR.

Real Madrid: Dzanan Musa 24 (4/5 2P, 2/7 3PT, 10/11 FT, 26 PIR), Walter Tavares 17 (5/10 2PT, 18 REB, 28 PIR), Sergio Llull 12, Guerschon Yabusele 12, Alberto Abalde 11 (3/6 3PT).

Monaco: Mike James 28 (4/11 2PT, 4/7 3PT), Jordan Loyd 19 (6/7 2PT, 2/6 3PT, 25 PIR), Alpha Diallo 12 (4/7 2PT, 8 REB).
