Nanterre (9th) was close to achieving a big blow on the floor of Boulogne-Levallois (1st). The leader won (107-105) after extra time thanks to 24 points (8/13) and 6 assists from Will Cummings and 24 points (6/12) from his compatriot Keith Hornsby. The Ile-de-France residents were not unworthy like a Chris Horton of the big nights (21 points at 10/15 shooting, 18 rebounds and 4 assists), but the extension was fatal for them. Nanterre 92 collected 9 points from the start of the last act and is approaching the end of the season without play-offs.
At the bottom of the table, Châlons-Reims is officially relegated to Pro B. Beaten by Portel (79-74), Champagne Basket can no longer mathematically maintain itself in Betclic Elite at the end of this 31st day. The ESSM (15th) carried out a good operation and moved away from the red zone. Benoit Mangin was instrumental in this victory (22 points at 8/12 shooting and 8 assists).
For its part, Dijon (6th) crushed the 4th Limoges (100-84). Author of an excellent first quarter (36-22), the JDA, carried by David Holston (31 points at 10/16 shooting and 7 assists) and Khadeen Carrington (30 points at 10/17 shooting and 5 assists), quickly took a lead that was too big for the CSP.
